Ounces here are ounces of weight (1 oz = 28.35 g), not fluid ounces. One US cup is 8 fluid ounces of volume whatever is in it, but what it weighs in ounces depends on the ingredient: a cup of granola weighs about 3.99 oz. Why these two are not the same.
In grams, 1/4 cup of granola is about 28 g, 1/3 cup is about 38 g, 1/2 cup is about 57 g, 2/3 cup is about 75 g, 3/4 cup is about 85 g, 1 cup is about 113 g, 1 1/2 cups is about 170 g, 2 cups is about 226 g and 3 cups is about 339 g.
A tablespoon of granola is about 7.1 grams, and a teaspoon is about 2.4 grams.
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.
How many grams is a cup of granola?
One US cup (240 ml) of granola weighs about 113 grams. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, that figure is specific to granola and does not transfer to any other ingredient: the same cup holds 125 grams of all-purpose flour and 340 grams of honey.

Does it matter which cup my recipe means?
It does, though less than the ingredient itself. This page uses the US legal cup of 240 ml. An Australian metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of granola comes to about 118 grams, and the old British imperial cup of 284.1 ml holds about 134 grams.

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.
Where this figure comes from
We have not yet found a published reference that states a weight for a cup of granola. The 113 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.
