About measuring graham cracker crumbs
Graham cracker crumbs are crushed graham crackers, used most often to bind a cheesecake or pie crust, and one US cup weighs about 102 grams. Because the crumb size varies with how finely the crackers are crushed, a food processor gives a finer, more consistent crumb than crushing by hand in a bag, and finer crumbs pack a little denser into the cup. The ratio of crumbs to melted butter is what decides whether a crust holds together or crumbles, so weighing the crumbs keeps that ratio dependable.
Crush crumbs finely and evenly in a food processor for a crust that presses together instead of crumbling.
How many grams is a cup of graham cracker crumbs?

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs?
One US cup of graham cracker crumbs is about 102 grams. Finer, more even crumbs from a food processor pack slightly denser than hand-crushed pieces.
How many graham crackers make a cup of crumbs?
Roughly nine to ten full-size graham cracker sheets, though this varies by brand. Weighing the crushed crumbs to about 102 grams is more reliable than counting crackers.
How much butter do I need for a graham cracker crust?
A common ratio is about half the weight of the crumbs in melted butter, so 102 grams of crumbs pairs with roughly 50 to 60 grams of butter, enough to bind without turning greasy.
Where this figure comes from
We have not yet found a published reference that states a weight for a cup of graham cracker crumbs. The 102 grams on this page follows the calibration the rest of the site is built on, with butter at 227 grams per cup, water at 240, all-purpose flour at 125 and granulated sugar at 200. Treat it as a good working figure rather than a cited one. If you have a better source, tell us and we will check it and credit you.
Published figures for the same ingredient vary between references anyway, because how an ingredient is packed changes what a cup of it weighs. Treat any cup figure as accurate to within a few percent, and weigh on a scale when a recipe is sensitive. Our full approach is on the methodology page.
