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 is a warm, aromatic spice derived from the inner bark of trees, valued for its sweet-spicy aroma and woody heat.

Practical use: Cinnamon is used as a spice modifier to add warmth, sweetness perception, and aromatic depth. It is commonly infused, muddled, or used as a garnish to reinforce spice-driven profiles and is especially effective in cold-weather, spirit-forward, and heated preparations.

Ingredient characteristics: Cinnamon delivers a warming spice profile defined by sweet aromatic heat, woody undertones, and gentle bitterness. Its flavor is bold yet rounded, contributing warmth, perceived sweetness, and aromatic lift rather than acidity or freshness. Even in small quantities, cinnamon has a strong structural impact on aroma and finish.

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

Whole versus ground form, grind size, settling, and leveling are important because these concentrated ingredients are commonly measured in small volumes.

Method & Cinnamon Basis

Spoon basis: 1 level teaspoon of ground cinnamon is fixed at about 2.5 grams in this converter.
