Cinnamon Grams to Teaspoons Converter
Convert ground cinnamon between grams, teaspoons, tablespoons, cups, and ounces. Handy when a recipe lists cinnamon by weight but you are measuring with kitchen spoons.
Convert cinnamon measurements
Start with the standard level-spoon estimate, then adjust for fluffy, settled, or packed ground cinnamon.
For baking, level the spoon with a flat edge and avoid packing cinnamon unless the recipe says to.

Why cinnamon spoon conversions vary
Ground cinnamon is a dry powder, so grams-to-spoons conversions depend on how fine the powder is and how firmly it settles in the spoon. This page uses 2.6 grams per level teaspoon as the everyday kitchen estimate.
If you are making a large spice blend, bakery batch, or recipe where cinnamon intensity matters, weigh the cinnamon directly. For pancakes, oatmeal, coffee, and quick baking, level spoon estimates are usually close enough.
Cinnamon conversion FAQ
How much is 1 teaspoon of cinnamon in grams?
One level teaspoon of ground cinnamon is about 2.6 grams. A loosely filled spoon may be closer to 2.3 grams, while a packed spoon may be closer to 3 grams.
How many tablespoons is 10 grams of cinnamon?
10 grams of ground cinnamon is about 1.28 tablespoons, or about 3.85 teaspoons, using the standard level-spoon estimate.
Can I use this for cinnamon sticks?
This converter is for ground cinnamon. Cinnamon sticks vary too much by size and curl, so weigh or grate them before using spoon conversions.
Should cinnamon be packed into the spoon?
Most recipes assume a level spoon, not a packed spoon. Scoop lightly, then level the top for a cleaner estimate.
