1 tbsp maple syrup in grams
1 tbsp of maple syrup = 20.1 grams · 14.8 ml · 3 tsp
That is one tablespoon of maple syrup, filled to the rim rather than domed. A full US cup of maple syrup weighs 322 g and holds 16 tablespoons, so 1 tbsp comes to 20.1 g. Use the converter for any other amount.
Based on a measured density of 322 g per US cup (236.6 ml), poured level rather than to the brim. Last reviewed .
How 1 tbsp of maple syrup works out
A US tablespoon is 1/16 of a cup, so take the weight of a cup of maple syrup and multiply: 322 × 0.062 = 20.1 g. By volume that is 14.8 ml, the same in the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand.
Australia is the exception: an Australian tablespoon holds 20 ml, not 15, so 1 tbsp of maple syrup from an Australian recipe is about 27.2 g. Heaped spoons are not a measure at all; a heaped spoonful can hold half as much again.
Tip: Use real maple syrup, not pancake 'syrup' (which is mostly corn syrup with flavouring), when the maple flavour is the point of the recipe.
