How many grams are in 1 cup of coconut flour?

One cup of coconut flour weighs about 112 grams. It is close in weight to some wheat flours by volume, but coconut flour behaves very differently in a recipe because it absorbs several times more liquid.

Why is coconut flour so absorbent compared to other flours?

Coconut flour is made from dried, ground, defatted coconut meat, which is very high in fiber. That fiber soaks up moisture aggressively, so recipes using coconut flour typically need far more eggs or liquid than a wheat flour recipe of the same volume.

Can I substitute coconut flour for regular flour using this converter?

This tool only converts cups to grams for coconut flour itself, it does not convert a wheat flour recipe into a coconut flour recipe. Coconut flour cannot be swapped 1:1 for wheat flour by weight or volume because of its absorbency; most conversions use roughly 1/4 to 1/3 the amount of wheat flour, plus extra eggs.

Why does my coconut flour weight not match the package label?

Brands grind and pack coconut flour to slightly different finenesses, so package-listed weights can differ from this chart by a few grams per cup. For recipes where precision matters, weigh against the specific brand you are using.

Is it better to measure coconut flour by weight or by cups?

By weight. Coconut flour packs down easily in a measuring cup depending on scooping technique, while a gram measurement stays consistent every time, which matters more with coconut flour than almost any other baking flour.

How many grams is 1/3 cup of coconut flour?
