About measuring granola
Granola is rolled oats baked with oil, sweetener and mix-ins until it clumps and turns crisp, and one US cup weighs about 113 grams. Because clumps trap uneven pockets of air, granola is one of the more variable ingredients to measure by volume: a cup of large, chunky clusters can weigh quite differently from a cup of loose, fine granola, even from the same brand. Weighing is the more reliable way to hit a target amount, whether you are portioning breakfast bowls or a bar recipe that needs a specific ratio of granola to binder.
Clumpy granola varies a lot by cup. Weigh it for baking recipes where the ratio to binder matters.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of granola?
One US cup of granola is about 113 grams. Because it clumps into clusters, the exact weight varies more by brand than most dry ingredients.
Why does granola vary so much by cup?
Granola bakes into clusters of different sizes, so a cup of large chunky clusters traps more air than a cup of fine, loose granola. Weighing removes that variation.
How many grams is a tablespoon of granola?
About 7 grams. A cup of granola is around 113 grams and holds 16 tablespoons, so each tablespoon is roughly 7 grams.
