How to Measure Coconut Oil Correctly
Coconut oil is solid below 76°F and liquid above. The state dramatically changes volume measurements.

Coconut oil can substitute for butter in most recipes at a 1:1 ratio by weight, but the flavor will be different.
656g of coconut oil is about 3 cups 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, 3 cups is about 656g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 710g.
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.
