2 tbsp coconut oil in grams
2 tbsp of coconut oil = 27.2 grams · 29.6 ml · 6 tsp

Based on a measured density of 218 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How 2 tbsp of coconut oil works out
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so take the weight of a cup of coconut oil and multiply: 218 × 0.125 = 27.2 g. By volume that is 29.6 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, so 2 tbsp of coconut oil from an Australian recipe is about 36.9 g. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
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.
