1 cup of maple syrup = 315 grams
One US cup of maple syrup weighs 315 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 333 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.

How to measure maple syrup accurately
The 315 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the maple syrup into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top flat with a straight edge. Scooping the cup through the bag compacts it and gives a heavier cup.
- 1 US cup of maple syrup = 315 g

- ¾ cup = 236 g
- ½ cup = 158 g
- ⅓ cup = 105 g
- ¼ cup = 79 g
