2 Tablespoons to Grams: Ingredient Conversion Chart
2 tablespoons to grams depends on the ingredient because tablespoons measure volume while grams measure weight. For example, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour = 15.62 grams, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar = 25 grams, 2 tablespoons of butter = 28.38 grams, and 2 tablespoons of honey = 42.5 grams using our ingredient references. If you searched for 2 tbsp to grams, 2 tbsp in grams, or how many grams is 2 tablespoons, the ingredient is the missing piece.
There is no single grams answer for 2 tablespoons. For common ingredients: 2 tbsp flour = 15.62 g, sugar = 25 g, butter = 28.38 g, and honey = 42.5 g.

How to Convert 2 Tablespoons to Grams
To convert 2 tablespoons to grams, divide by 16 to get cups, then multiply by the grams per cup.
Grams = (tablespoons ÷ 16) × grams per cupGrams = (2 ÷ 16) × ingredient grams per cupFor example, all-purpose flour weighs 125 grams per cup:
(2 ÷ 16) × 125 = 15.62 gTherefore, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour equals 15.62 grams.
How Many Grams Is 2 Tablespoons?
There is no universal answer because different ingredients have different weights per cup. The general guide tablespoons to grams covers any tablespoon amount with the same formula.
Light Ingredient
2 tbsp rolled oats = 11.25 g
Dense Ingredient
2 tbsp honey = 42.5 g
2 Tablespoons of Flour in Grams
For all-purpose flour, our reference is 125 grams per US cup.
(2 ÷ 16) × 125 = 15.62 gSo 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour is 15.62 grams, which is ⅛ cup. See also grams to tablespoons for the reverse direction.
2 Tablespoons Sugar in Grams
Granulated sugar weighs 200 grams per US cup.
(2 ÷ 16) × 200 = 25 gTherefore, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar equals 25 grams.
2 Tablespoons Butter in Grams
Using 227 grams for one cup of butter:
(2 ÷ 16) × 227 = 28.38 gSo 2 tablespoons of butter equals 28.38 grams, which is ¼ of a standard butter stick.
How Many Tablespoons Are in 100 Grams?
Going the other way, 100 grams of flour is 12.8 tablespoons, sugar is 8 tablespoons, and butter is 7.05 tablespoons — the same formula in reverse.
Why Grams Have Different Cup Values
Cups measure how much space an ingredient occupies, while grams measure how heavy that ingredient is. Different foods pack different amounts of mass into the same volume, which is why a conversion must always include an ingredient.
How to Measure More Accurately
For dry ingredients such as flour, spoon the ingredient into the cup and level it off, and do not press it firmly unless the recipe asks you to pack it. For baking, a digital kitchen scale is usually the simplest way to reproduce a gram measurement consistently.
US Cups vs Metric Cups
Our main conversions use a US customary cup of 236.588 ml. Other cup standards change the grams-per-cup value, so the calculator above adjusts the result when you switch standards.
| Cup Standard | 1 Cup Volume |
|---|---|
| US Customary | 236.588 ml |
| US Legal | 240 ml |
| Metric | 250 ml |
| Imperial | 284.131 ml |
