How to Measure Peanut Butter Correctly

Natural peanut butter can separate. Stir it fully before weighing or measuring for consistent results.

Why Cup-to-Grams Accuracy Matters for Peanut Butter
Small cup changes create big weight differences. For peanut butter, 5 cups is about 1291g, but just 1/4 cup more jumps to 1355g.
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.
