Ingredient Profile
Peanut Butter has a density of 258g per cup, based on USDA FoodData Central data. Creamy, natural style runs closer to 240g.
Density can shift with brand, moisture content, or how the ingredient was packed before it reached your kitchen. Weighing on a scale removes that guesswork.
For comparison, honey is denser at 340g per cup, while panko breadcrumbs is lighter at 60g per cup — a reminder that weight per cup varies by ingredient, not by category alone.
How to Measure Peanut Butter in Cups
Use a spatula to level thick condiments like peanut butter or tahini after pressing them into the cup to remove air gaps.
Stir thick condiments well before measuring, since separation during storage (common in natural nut butters) can make the top and bottom of the jar measure differently.
If a recipe calls for peanut butter by weight instead of volume, a digital kitchen scale set to grams removes any measuring-technique variation entirely — the converter at the top of this page shows both figures side by side so you can check your result either way.
