How to Measure Coconut Oil Correctly
Coconut oil is solid below 76°F and liquid above. The state dramatically changes volume measurements.
When a recipe calls for melted coconut oil, measure it after melting, not before.
Coconut oil can substitute for butter in most recipes at a 1:1 ratio by weight, but the flavor will be different.
109g of coconut oil is about 1/2 cup using Spoon & Level. For consistency, stick to one measuring method across the whole recipe.
Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Coconut Oil
Small cup changes create big weight differences. For coconut oil, 1/2 cup is about 109g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 164g.
This is why cup-based recipes can drift: packed, loose, or sifted volume can shift your actual grams. Using grams keeps hydration and texture consistent across batches.

If your recipe starts in cups, convert once to grams and bake by weight. That avoids hidden volume error and makes your result repeatable every time.
