How ¼ cup of coconut oil works out
One US cup of coconut oil weighs 218 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 218 × 0.25 = 54.5 g. In the other direction, 54.5 g of coconut oil divided by 218 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of coconut oil (12 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 57.6 g.
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.
