Honey Grams to Cups
1 cup of honey weighs about 339 grams, and 1 tablespoon weighs 21 g. Honey is heavy, so 100 g is only ¼ cup + 2 teaspoons.
Tip: Lightly oil the cup first so all the honey slides out.
One US cup of honey weighs about 339 g (USDA), and a tablespoon weighs about 21 g. To convert grams of honey to cups, divide by 339, so 170 g = ½ cup. Honey is about 40% heavier than water, so never convert it with a water or "1 cup = 240 g" rule.

How to measure honey without the mess
- Lightly oil or spray the measuring cup or spoon first, or measure the oil for the recipe in it beforehand.
- Pour the honey in until it’s level.
- Scrape it out with a spatula. The oil helps it slide out so you get the full amount.
Or skip the cup: put your mixing bowl on a scale, set it to zero, and pour in the grams you need.
Honey that has crystallized
Honey that has gone thick and grainy still weighs the same, but it’s hard to measure in a cup. Warm the jar in a bowl of warm water until it’s runny again, or simply weigh it.
Other liquid sweeteners
Maple syrup, molasses and corn syrup are also much heavier than water. If you’re converting them, look for the weight on the bottle or weigh them; don’t use the honey number.
