Honey — Grams & Cups Converter
1 cup of honey weighs about 340 g. So 100 g ≈ 1/3 cup, 200 g ≈ 5/8 cup, and 300 g ≈ 7/8 cup. Convert any amount between grams, cups, ounces, tablespoons and millilitres with the calculator below.
💡 Tip: Lightly oil the cup or spoon first and honey slides right out instead of sticking. It's heavier than water at about 340 g per cup.

Honey weighs more than you would guess (and sugar swaps)
Because honey is about 80% sugar, it is dense: a cup tips the scale at roughly 340g, nearly half again as heavy as the same cup of water. That is also why a tablespoon is a hefty 21g. To stop it sticking, lightly oil the cup or spoon and it slides straight out.
Replacing sugar with honey? Use about ¾ cup honey per cup of sugar, cut other liquids by 3–4 tablespoons, add a pinch of baking soda to balance the acidity, and drop the oven temperature 25°F so it does not over-brown.
