Measuring peanut butter by cup and by weight
A cup of peanut butter weighs about 270 g, and a tablespoon about 17 g, which is why a standard serving size is two tablespoons. It sticks to the cup, so either weigh it directly into the mixing bowl or lightly oil the cup. Natural peanut butter can separate, so stir the oil back in before you measure, or you'll end up with stiff, dry paste at the bottom.
