Convert baking powder grams ⇄ teaspoons

Grams ≠ teaspoons without the leavening — a level teaspoon of baking powder weighs about 4 g.
Presets
2.5 tsp
10 g = 2.5 tsp (at 4 g per US teaspoon)

Formula: 10 g ÷ 4 g/tsp = 2.5 tsp

Approximate weights: baking powder weights per teaspoon vary with brand and how level the spoon is — 4 g is a typical level-teaspoon value. For baking, weigh with a scale when it matters.

How the baking powder conversion works

The converter applies teaspoons = grams ÷ grams-per-teaspoon. A level US teaspoon of baking powder weighs about 4 g — small quantities where a gram either way changes the bake, which is why this page works in teaspoons rather than cups.

Worked example: a recipe calling for 12 g of baking powder needs 12 ÷ 4 = 3 teaspoons — exactly 1 tablespoon. A recipe calling for 10 g needs 10 ÷ 4 = 2.5 teaspoons.

Treat 4 g as typical, not exact: brand and how level the spoon is both shift it, and a heaped teaspoon can hold 5–6 g. More is not better — excess baking powder tastes bitter and can collapse a bake.

baking powder questions

How many grams is a teaspoon of baking powder?
About 4 g for a level US teaspoon. A heaped teaspoon can hold 5–6 g, which is why recipes that need precision give weights.
How many teaspoons is 10 g of baking powder?
About 2.5 teaspoons (10 ÷ 4).
How many grams is a tablespoon of baking powder?
About 12 g — one tablespoon is 3 teaspoons, and 3 × 4 g = 12 g.
How much baking powder per cup of flour?
About 1 teaspoon per 100–125 g of flour is the usual rule of thumb — roughly 1–1.25 teaspoons per cup. More is not better: excess baking powder tastes bitter and can collapse a bake.
Can I convert teaspoons of baking powder back to grams?
Yes — switch the direction above. Grams = teaspoons × grams-per-teaspoon, so 3 teaspoons of baking powder is 3 × 4 = 12 g.
