This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 3.42 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 2.57 grams.
How 1/2 tablespoon of rolled oats was converted to grams
One US tablespoon of rolled oats weighs 5.06 grams (five point zero six), so multiply 1/2 by 5.0625.
1/2 × 5.0625 g
≈2.53 grams
(two point five three grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 173904 “Cereals, oats, regular and quick, not fortified, dry”, portion “1 cup” = 81 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons. Scooped ingredients vary with how they are filled — spooned in lightly, a tablespoon weighs less; packed down, more — so for baking a kitchen scale is the exact tool and this figure the standard reference.
