How to measure coconut sugar

Coconut sugar is drier and lighter than brown sugar — measure it loosely, without packing.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure coconut sugar 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 sugar

1 cup coconut sugar = 1 cup brown sugar (packed) (King Arthur Baking)
Substitute by weight. Brown sugar mirrors coconut sugar's butterscotch notes and moisture content most closely.
1 cup coconut sugar = 1 cup granulated sugar (King Arthur Baking)
Works 1:1 by weight; baked goods lose the caramel/molasses flavor and gain a lighter color.

Coconut sugar conversions: FAQ

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

A cup measures volume, not weight. Coconut sugar is less dense than water (154 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.
