How Many Cups Is 300 Grams?
300 g of granulated sugar = exactly 1½ cups.
300 g of powdered sugar = exactly 2½ cups · 300 g of flour ≈ 2 cups + 6 tbsp. Full table for all common baking ingredients below.
300 grams is a large but common baking quantity — enough flour for a standard batch of cookies, enough sugar to sweeten a whole cake. The standout conversions: granulated sugar hits a clean 1½ cups and powdered sugar hits an equally clean 2½ cups. Flour, butter, and most other ingredients land at less tidy numbers — the full table is below.
300g to Cups by Ingredient
| Ingredient | 300 g = | Cup Equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| All-purpose flour | 2.40 cups | 2 cups + 6 tbsp |
| Bread flour | 2.36 cups | 2 cups + 6 tbsp |
| Cake flour | 2.63 cups | 2½ cups + 2 tbsp |
| Whole wheat flour | 2.31 cups | 2 cups + 5 tbsp |
| Almond flour | 3.13 cups | 3 cups + 2 tbsp |
| Granulated sugar | 1.50 cups | Exactly 1½ cups |
| Brown sugar (packed) | 1.36 cups | 1 cup + 6 tbsp |
| Powdered sugar | 2.50 cups | Exactly 2½ cups |
| Butter | 1.32 cups | 1 cup + 5 tbsp |
| Olive oil | 1.39 cups | 1 cup + 6 tbsp |
| Cocoa powder | 3.53 cups | 3½ cups |
| Rolled oats | 3.33 cups | 3⅓ cups |
| Cornstarch | 2.34 cups | 2 cups + 5 tbsp |
| Chocolate chips | 1.76 cups | 1¾ cups + 2 tbsp |
| Peanut butter | 1.16 cups | 1 cup + 2½ tbsp |
| Honey | 0.88 cup | ¾ cup + 2 tbsp |
| Maple syrup | 0.97 cup | Scant 1 cup |
| Milk (whole) | 1.23 cups | 1 cup + 3¾ tbsp |
Values use the spoon-and-level method. 1 US cup = 16 tablespoons.
Two Clean Sugar Conversions at 300g
Both granulated and powdered sugar land on exact fractions at 300 g — a coincidence that makes this weight particularly convenient:
- Granulated sugar: 200 g/cup × 1.5 = 300 g → exactly 1½ cups.
- Powdered sugar: 120 g/cup × 2.5 = 300 g → exactly 2½ cups.
Brown sugar doesn't share this property because it packs tighter at 220 g/cup — 300 g of brown sugar lands at 1.36 cups, which is less tidy.
300g of Flour: 2 Cups Is Not Enough
A common mistake: seeing 300 g of flour in a recipe and reaching for 2 cups. Two cups of all-purpose flour weighs 250 g — 50 g short of 300 g. The correct amount is 2 cups plus about 6 tablespoons (or 2.40 cups on a measuring pitcher). For bread-making especially, that missing 50 g changes the dough hydration significantly.

FAQ
Is 300g of sugar exactly 1½ cups?
Yes — granulated sugar is exactly 200 g per US cup, so 300 g = 300/200 = 1.50 cups = 1½ cups exactly. No rounding needed. This makes 300 g of granulated sugar one of the most convenient metric-to-cup conversions: just use 1½ cups and you're done.
How many cups is 300g of flour?
300 g of all-purpose flour is 2.40 cups — about 2 cups plus 6 tablespoons. Flour weighs 125 g per cup, so 300 g fills 2.4 measuring cups. Cake flour is lighter (2.63 cups for 300 g) and whole wheat flour is denser (2.31 cups).
How many cups is 300g of butter?
300 g of butter is 1.32 cups — 1 cup plus about 5 tablespoons. Butter weighs 227 g per cup. In US stick terms, 300 g is about 2½ sticks (one full stick = 113 g).
How many cups is 300g of powdered sugar?
300 g of powdered sugar (unsifted) is 2.50 cups — exactly 2½ cups. Powdered sugar weighs about 120 g per cup, so 300/120 = 2.5. This is another clean conversion: 300 g of powdered sugar = 2½ cups exactly.
How many tablespoons is 300 grams?
Multiply the cup value by 16. Granulated sugar (1.50 cup) = 24 tablespoons = 1½ cups. Flour (2.40 cup) = 38.4 tbsp. Butter (1.32 cup) = 21 tbsp. The tablespoon count varies entirely with the ingredient's density.
300g of chocolate chips — how many cups?
300 g of chocolate chips is 1.76 cups — between 1¾ cups and 2 cups (about 1¾ cups plus 2 tablespoons). Chocolate chips weigh about 170 g per cup, so 300/170 = 1.76 cup. For most cookie recipes this rounds to a generous 1¾ cups.
