One US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of packed brown sugar weighs 13.8 grams, from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168833 “Sugars, brown”, portion “1 cup packed” = 220 grams, and 1 US cup = 16 US tablespoons.
3 tablespoons of packed brown sugar equals 41.3 grams; the way back, from grams to tablespoons, is the Grams to Tablespoons converter.
Unpacked brown sugar weighs 9.06 grams per tablespoon, so 3 tablespoons of it is 27.2 grams.
3 US tablespoons of packed brown sugar is also 0.1875 US cups or 9 US teaspoons — the same 41.3 grams.
This is the level US tablespoon of 14.8 ml. A recipe from Australia means the tablespoon of 20 ml, 35.3 % more: 55.8 grams; the metric tablespoon of 15 ml (UK, New Zealand, Canada) gives 41.8 grams.
How 3 tablespoons of packed brown sugar was converted to grams
One US tablespoon of packed brown sugar weighs 13.8 grams (thirteen point eight), so multiply 3 by 13.75.
3 × 13.75 g
≈41.3 grams
(forty-one point three grams)
The weight of the tablespoon comes from USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy entry 168833 “Sugars, brown”, portion “1 cup packed” = 220 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.
