API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

This converter handles the practical baking question: how much a teaspoon of ground cinnamon weighs in grams. It keeps the answer simple and consistent: 1 level teaspoon of ground cinnamon is about 2.5 grams, 1/4 teaspoon is about 0.63 gram, 1/2 teaspoon is about 1.25 grams, and 2 teaspoons are about 5 grams.

That helps when you want to scale spice mixes, baking recipes, oatmeal toppings, or cinnamon sugar blends without relying on inconsistent spoon charts. It also covers the practical weight side of short queries like 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, and 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon in grams. Cinnamon powder can still vary a little with grind and spoon leveling, so this page stays anchored to one clear teaspoon factor.

Cinnamon uses a recorded reference of 120 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: low. Source basis: and1 ingredient weight chart: 1 cup ground cinnamon = 120 g https://www.and1.com/measurements/cups-in-gram/

Evidence status: source-unverified. The cited AND1 source has not been independently verified. Its current domain context does not establish the original measurement. Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this page answer cinnamon calories for 1 teaspoon?

Not directly. This page converts cinnamon teaspoons into grams; calorie questions depend on nutrition data rather than the spoon-to-gram factor alone.

Why do cinnamon teaspoon weights vary between charts?

Grind fineness, spoon leveling, and how much air stays in the powder can all shift the real teaspoon weight slightly.

Can I use this for baking and spice blends?

Yes. It is useful when a recipe gives cinnamon in teaspoons and you want a repeatable gram target.
