Coconut oil, Cups to Grams & Grams to Cups
1 cup of coconut oil = 218 grams · 100g = 0.46 cups
Coconut oil is solid below about 24°C (76°F) and liquid above it, which makes measuring it tricky. Recipes almost always mean it melted and measured as a liquid, where a cup is about 218 grams like other oils. Scooping it solid traps air and underfills the cup.

How to measure coconut oil accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh coconut oil on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of coconut oil weighs about 218 grams (7.69 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts coconut oil and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Melt coconut oil and measure it warm, but if a recipe pairs it with cold ingredients, let it cool slightly first so it doesn't re-solidify into lumps on contact.
