Peanut butter: cups to grams
Peanut butter weighs about 270 g per cup and 16 g per tablespoon. Natural (unstabilised) peanut butter is a little heavier once stirred, around 258 to 270 g, and almond butter is similar.
1 cup peanut butter = 270 g · 1 tbsp = 16.9 g · 100 g = 0.37 cups
Based on 270 g per US cup of peanut butter, spooned and levelled. Real-world cups vary by about ±10 % for powders.
How to measure peanut butter
Pack it into a dry measuring cup and scrape out with a spatula, or, far easier, weigh it into the bowl.
Weight is the only measure that does not depend on the container or on how the ingredient was filled. The figure of 270 g per US cup comes from the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart; other charts differ by a few percent, which is within the spread between two cooks filling the same cup.
