To convert grams of graham cracker crumbs into millilitres, multiply by 1.6661143: one gram comes to 1.6661143 millilitres. Every ingredient has its own figure here, because the units are measuring different things and only the density links them.
The density behind that figure is 0.6002 g per mL, against 1.00 for water. A cup of water weighs 236.6 g and a cup of graham cracker crumbs weighs 142 g, so this ingredient is 60.02% as heavy as the same volume of water — the single fact the whole page rests on.
Graham cracker crumbs has a density of 0.6002 g per mL, so 100 mL of it weighs 60.02 g and 250 mL weighs 150 g. That single figure is what every other number on this page is built from — water is 1.00 g per mL, so this ingredient is 60.02% as heavy as the same volume of water.
Grams are the unit this conversion is really for. A domestic scale resolves to a gram, which is 0.704% of a cup of graham cracker crumbs, so weighing gets an accuracy no measuring cup can reach. A 500 g pack of it is 3.521 cups, and a 1 kg pack 7.042.
How the figure is arrived at: Finely crushed. A 9-inch crumb crust takes about a cup and a half of them.
The formula
grams- The amount of graham cracker crumbs you are converting, in grams
1.66611434155- Millilitres per gram for graham cracker crumbs, from its density of 0.6002 g/mL
millilitres- The equivalent quantity in millilitres
How it works, step by step
- Enter the quantity in grams.
- It is multiplied by 1.66611434155, the millilitres-per-gram figure for graham cracker crumbs.
- The result appears in millilitres, with a second reading in tsp beneath it.
- Use the measure table if you want a standard recipe quantity rather than a number you type in.
Worked examples
50 g of graham cracker crumbs in millilitres
A recipe calling for 50 g of graham cracker crumbs needs 83.3057 millilitres on the scale. The arithmetic is 50 × 1.6661143 = 83.305717, and halving the recipe halves the weight to 41.6529 millilitres.
150 g of graham cracker crumbs in millilitres
A recipe calling for 150 g of graham cracker crumbs needs 249.917 millilitres on the scale. The arithmetic is 150 × 1.6661143 = 249.91715, and halving the recipe halves the weight to 124.959 millilitres.
500 g of graham cracker crumbs in millilitres
A recipe calling for 500 g of graham cracker crumbs needs 833.057 millilitres on the scale. The arithmetic is 500 × 1.6661143 = 833.05717, and halving the recipe halves the weight to 416.529 millilitres.

Frequently asked questions
How many millilitres are in 1 g of graham cracker crumbs?
One gram of graham cracker crumbs is 1.6661143 millilitres. Half that quantity is 0.833057 millilitres and double it is 3.33223 millilitres, so the figure scales straight up and down — there is no offset in this conversion, only the factor.
Why is a cup of graham cracker crumbs not 236 g like water?
Because weight per cup depends on what is in the cup. Graham cracker crumbs has a density of 0.6002 g per mL where water has 1.00, so a cup of it weighs 142 g rather than 236.6 g. That is a difference of 94.6 g per cup, and it is the reason a single volume-to-weight factor cannot be applied to every ingredient.
Does how I measure it change the weight?
Yes, and by more than most people expect. Handling changes the weight of a cup of graham cracker crumbs by roughly 20% — about 14.2 g either side of 142 g — because finely crushed. Weighing removes the question entirely.
Is a fluid ounce of graham cracker crumbs the same as an ounce?
No. A fluid ounce is a volume — one eighth of a US cup, 29.57 mL — and an ounce is a weight. One fluid ounce of graham cracker crumbs weighs 0.6261 oz, so the two readings differ by 37.4%. They coincide only for something with the density of water, and then only roughly.
Is this a US cup or a metric cup?
US customary: 236.59 mL, which is the cup every US recipe means. A metric cup is 250 mL, so the same cup of graham cracker crumbs would weigh 150.05 g instead of 142 g — 8.05 g more, or 5.67%. Australian and some European recipes use the metric cup, and the difference is large enough to matter in baking.
Do I need a scale for this, or will measuring cups do?
At this size the spoon wins. One millilitre of graham cracker crumbs is 0.6002 g, and a scale reading to the nearest gram is working at 167% resolution on that — a measuring spoon is the more accurate instrument below about 5 g, which is why spice quantities are still written in spoons.
How much does 15 mL of graham cracker crumbs weigh?
15 mL of graham cracker crumbs comes to 9.003 g, or 9.003 grams. This page runs that calculation in reverse — enter a weight and it returns the volume — and the ml-to-grams page does it in the direction the question is usually asked.
