Formula
grams = cups × 125 (all-purpose flour) ; ounces = grams ÷ 28.3495
Why weight beats volume for all-purpose flour
A cup is a volume; a recipe cares about mass. All-purpose flour runs about 125 g per US cup measured spoon-and-level, but packing, humidity, and grind can move that by ±10%. Weighing removes the guesswork, which is exactly why serious baking recipes list grams.
Spoon into the cup and level. Scooping straight from the bag compacts flour and can add 15–20%.

Frequently asked questions
How many ounces is 3 cups of all-purpose flour?
3 cups of all-purpose flour is about 13.23 oz (375 g), based on 125 g per US cup, measured spoon-and-level.
Why does the ingredient change the answer?
Cups measure volume, grams measure weight. Dense ingredients pack more weight into the same cup: a cup of honey is 340 g while a cup of rolled oats is only 90 g. That is why generic cup-to-gram converters get recipes wrong.
Does it matter how I fill the cup?
Spoon into the cup and level. Scooping straight from the bag compacts flour and can add 15–20%.
Is this a US cup or a metric cup?
A US customary cup (236.6 mL). A metric cup is 250 mL, about 5.7% bigger, and old UK recipes use a 284 mL imperial cup. 3 cups here is 710 mL by volume.
