How Many Teaspoons are in a Cup?
How Many Teaspoons in a Cup? (Because Who Has Time to Guess?)
If you’ve ever been halfway through a recipe, elbow-deep in flour, and suddenly wondered “Wait… how many teaspoons are in a cup again?” — you’re not alone. I’ve been there, mid-cookie chaos with the dog licking batter off the floor and a toddler yelling “MORE SPRINKLES!” from the other room.
So let’s settle this once and for all:
There are 48 teaspoons in 1 cup.
Yep. Four-eight.
Not 30, not 62 (looking at you, tired brain). It’s 48.
Simple, sweet, and ready for measuring out ALL the cinnamon.
Quick Conversion Guide (Because Time = Dinner’s Almost Burning)
| Cups | Teaspoons |
|---|---|
| ¼ cup | 12 tsp |
| ⅓ cup | 16 tsp |
| ½ cup | 24 tsp |
| ⅔ cup | 32 tsp |
| ¾ cup | 36 tsp |
| 1 cup | 48 tsp |
Stick that on the fridge next to the preschool art and the pizza coupons.
Wait, Why Would Anyone Need This?
Good question.
- Maybe your measuring cups are in the dishwasher. (Again.)
- Maybe you found Grandma’s recipe and it only talks in “a spoonful” and vibes.
- Or maybe you just like being really precise. No judgment — some of us still eyeball vanilla and call it “a dash of love.”
Mom’s Pro Tip:
If you’re converting down from cups to teaspoons, always double-check. One distracted moment and suddenly your cookies taste like salt licked a battery. Don’t ask how I know that.
Also — dry vs. liquid? Measuring spoons work for both! Just make sure you level off your dry stuff (use the back of a butter knife).
