Honey — Cups to Grams

One US cup of honey weighs about 340 grams. That makes it heavier than all-purpose flour, which is 120 grams per cup. Honey is dense and sticky — lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly. Use the converter below to switch honey between cups, grams, ounces, tablespoons and millilitres — or read the full chart underneath.

How to measure honey

Honey is dense and sticky — lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.

Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to measure honey is with a digital kitchen scale. If you are working from cups, keep your technique consistent every time so your results are repeatable. For more, see our guide on baking by weight versus volume.

Substitutes for honey

1 cup honey = 1¼ cups granulated sugar + ¼ cup additional liquid from the recipe (water, milk, or juice) (King Arthur Baking)
Reduce oven temperature by 25°F to prevent over-browning. For recipes calling for over half a cup of honey, add ¼ tsp baking soda to balance the acidity.

Honey conversions: FAQ

Why doesn't a cup of honey weigh the same as a cup of water?

A cup measures volume, not weight. Honey is denser than water (340 g versus 237 g per cup), so the same volume has a different weight. Weighing in grams is the most accurate way to measure it.
