In short
One us cup of yogurt is 8.6421206776 ounce. Going the other way, one ounce is 0.1157123393 us cup. That works out at 2 us cup = 17.2842413553 ounce and 4 = 34.5684827106. The figure comes from yogurt weighing 245 g per US cup — a generic cups-to-grams converter assumes water and will give you the wrong answer here, because volume to weight depends entirely on what is in the cup.

About the Cups to Ounces — Yogurt
Plain yogurt is slightly denser than milk because of the fermentation and any added milk solids. Greek yogurt is denser again — strained of whey, it runs closer to 280 g per cup, so substituting it by volume in a batter adds both weight and thickness. Sour cream and crème fraîche sit within a few grams of plain yogurt. The figure this page works from is 245 g per US cup, the spooned-and-levelled weight recorded by King Arthur Baking and the USDA food database. Converting us cup to ounce for yogurt, the amounts that come up most often are: 1/4 us cup = 2.16 ounce; 1/3 us cup = 2.88 ounce; 1/2 us cup = 4.32 ounce; 2/3 us cup = 5.76 ounce; 3/4 us cup = 6.48 ounce; 1 us cup = 8.64 ounce; 1 1/2 us cup = 13 ounce; 2 us cup = 17.3 ounce; 3 us cup = 25.9 ounce.
What people use it for
- Following a US recipe with a kitchen scale instead of cup measures.
- Scaling a recipe up or down without compounding measuring error.
- Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups.

The maths behind it
This tool uses ounce = us cup × 8.6421206776, derived from yogurt weighing 245 g per US cup. Every intermediate value is shown on screen, so the result can be checked by hand.
Plain yogurt is slightly denser than milk because of the fermentation and any added milk solids. Greek yogurt is denser again — strained of whey, it runs closer to 280 g per cup, so substituting it by volume in a batter adds both weight and thickness.
Where this tool stops
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of regular in baking?
Yes, but thin it. Greek yogurt is strained, so it is both denser and drier — swap by weight and add a tablespoon or two of milk per cup to bring the moisture back, or the crumb comes out tight.
Why does a cup of yogurt not weigh the same as a cup of water?
Because a cup measures volume and a scale measures weight, and the two only agree for water. Yogurt has its own density — 245 g per US cup — so any generic volume converter gives the wrong answer here.
How much does the way I fill the cup matter?
Somewhat, because yogurt holds air pockets. Spooned in gently it traps gaps and under-measures; pressed down and levelled it gives the 245 g used here. Stirring it smooth first makes the cup far more repeatable — and set yogurt straight from the pot behaves quite differently from stirred.
Is a US cup the same as a UK or metric cup?
No. A US cup is 236.6 ml, a metric cup is 250 ml and an old UK cup is 284 ml. These pages use the US cup, because that is what US recipes mean.

Converting a European recipe written in grams into cups. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Where does the Cups to Ounces — Yogurt stop being reliable?
Volume-to-weight conversion is inherently approximate. Humidity, brand, how finely something is milled and how long it has sat in the cupboard all shift the figure by a few per cent. Knowing where a tool stops being trustworthy matters more than the cases where it works.
