Honey Grams to Cups

Honey grams to cups at a glance

One cup of honey weighs 340 grams — heavier than water and nearly triple the weight of a cup of flour. Dense liquid sweeteners like honey are far easier to weigh than to scrape out of a measuring cup.

If you do measure honey by volume, coat the cup or spoon with a thin film of oil first and the honey slides right out. Better: put your mixing bowl on a scale and pour honey directly in until you hit the grams — zero cleanup, zero loss.

Sugars & Sweeteners compared by cup weight

Swapping one type for another changes the weight of a cup, so a recipe written in cups is not portable between them:

How packing changes a cup of honey

A cup of honey weighs about 340g when filled the way this chart assumes. Pressed down it can reach 442g, and dropped in loosely it can fall to 289g. Crystal size decides how much this matters: coarse sugars trap air and vary most, while fine sugars settle consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many cups is 250g of honey?

250 grams of honey is about 0.74 cups — just under ¾ cup.

How much does a tablespoon of honey weigh?

One tablespoon of honey weighs about 21 grams — nearly three times a tablespoon of flour.

Do maple syrup and honey weigh the same per cup?

Close: honey is 340g per cup, maple syrup about 315g. They can swap by volume in most recipes, though honey is sweeter and browns faster.

Can I substitute honey for sugar?

Use about ¾ cup honey per 1 cup sugar, reduce other liquids by 3 tablespoons, and drop the oven temperature 25°F — honey browns more quickly than sugar.
