Why maple syrup conversions need a density estimate

Maple syrup is denser than water, so milliliters and grams are not interchangeable. A US cup of maple syrup is commonly estimated near 322 grams, while a cup of water is about 237 grams.

Temperature and syrup thickness can shift spoon and cup measurements slightly. If a cake, candy, glaze, or granola recipe depends on texture, weigh the syrup directly into the bowl.
