How to measure granola
The chart entry is “Granola, 1 cup = 4 oz = 113 g”. The chart gives one figure for granola although products differ, so treat 113 grams as a guide rather than a fixed value. For reference, old-fashioned rolled oats are 89 grams per cup on the chart and whole walnuts 113 grams, the same as granola. Fill the cup loosely and level it. Half a cup is about 57 grams and a quarter cup about 28 grams.
Sources: 113 grams per US cup is the weight per cup in King Arthur Baking’s ingredient weight chart (open the chart), entry “Granola, 1 cup = 4 oz = 113 g”. A US cup is about 237 milliliters.
