How to measure coconut oil

Measure coconut oil melted for liquid recipes, or solid when a recipe says to cream it.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure coconut oil is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Substitutes for coconut oil

1 cup coconut oil = 1 cup butter (The Kitchn)
Use solid, room-temperature coconut oil where butter is solid; melted where butter is melted. Refined coconut oil is neutral; unrefined adds coconut flavor.
1 cup melted coconut oil = 1 cup neutral vegetable oil (The Kitchn)
Direct swap when coconut oil is used liquid. Loses the solid-fat structure, so avoid in recipes where coconut oil sets the crumb (e.g. raw vegan bars).

Coconut oil conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of coconut oil weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Coconut oil is less dense than water (218 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
