Measuring 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Flour in the Kitchen
Measured spooned & leveled at a verified bulk density of 112g per US cup, 1 tablespoon of coconut flour weighs 7 grams (0.25 ounces). Measured using the scooped from canister method (128g/cup), that same 1 tbsp holds 8g — a 1g difference in your mixing bowl.
Spoon gently into cup and level. Because coconut flour absorbs 3 to 4 times its weight in moisture, weigh on a digital scale.
