How ¼ cup of peanut butter works out
One US cup of peanut butter weighs 258 grams, so multiply by 0.25 to get a quarter cup: 258 × 0.25 = 64.5 g. In the other direction, 64.5 g of peanut butter divided by 258 brings you back to ¼ cup.
If you have no scales, ¼ cup is 4 level tablespoons of peanut butter (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 68.2 g.
Tip: Stir natural peanut butter thoroughly to recombine the oil before measuring, and lightly oil the cup so the sticky butter releases cleanly.
