Quick answers

1/4 cup of maple sugar is about 39 g, 1/3 cup is about 52 g, 1/2 cup is about 78 g, 2/3 cup is about 104 g, 3/4 cup is about 117 g and 1 cup is about 156 g (5.5 oz). One tablespoon is about 9.8 g and one teaspoon about 3.2 g.

Example: using maple sugar in a recipe

If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of maple sugar, that is 1.5 x 156 g, or about 234 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 156 to get about 1 1/4 cups.

How to measure maple sugar

Spoon the maple sugar into a dry cup and level it. Brown sugar is the exception, which recipes normally ask you to pack firmly until it holds its shape when tipped out. Lumpy sugars such as powdered sugar should be stirred or sifted first.

Where these weights come from

Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
