- How Many Cups Are in a 15-ounce Can of Pumpkin?
If you’re knee-deep in pumpkin recipes, you may have found yourself wondering exactly how many ounces of pumpkin are in a 15-ounce can. Some recipes call for cups of pumpkin, not cans, so knowing how much you need will help you when you’re at the store.
A 15-ounce can of canned pumpkin holds nearly 2 cups. It’s actually 2 1/2 tablespoons short of 2 cups, about 29 1/2 tablespoons total.
If you buy the 29-ounce can of pumpkin, you’ll get about 3 1/2 cups cups in that can.
