How ⅓ cup of granola works out
One US cup of granola weighs 120 grams, so multiply by 0.333 to get a third of a cup: 120 × 0.333 = 40 g. In the other direction, 40 g of granola divided by 120 brings you back to ⅓ cup.
If you have no scales, ⅓ cup is 5.333 level tablespoons of granola (16 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 42.3 g.
Tip: Because granola recipes vary so much in density, weigh it where it matters; a cup of clustered granola can weigh noticeably less than a cup of fine, loose oats-and-nut mix.
