How to measure 1/3 cup of peanut butter
By weight (most accurate): set your bowl on a kitchen scale, press tare, and add 86 g of peanut butter.
By volume: Use a 1/3-cup measure, or 5 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon.
Peanut butter is dense and sticky. Weighing it directly into the bowl is faster than scraping out a measuring cup.
