Honey Grams to Cups: 1 Cup Honey = 340 g
1 US cup of honey weighs 340 grams. One US cup of pourable honey weighs about 340 grams. Honey is much denser than flour or granulated sugar, so a relatively large gram amount fits into one cup.

Divide the gram amount by 340 to calculate US cups. The practical fraction is a measuring aid, not a replacement for the exact gram weight.
| Grams | US cups | Practical reference |
|---|---|---|
| 25 g | 0.07 cups | about 1/8 cup |
| 30 g | 0.09 cups | about 1/8 cup |
| 40 g | 0.12 cups | about 1/8 cup |
| 50 g | 0.15 cups | about 1/8 cup |
| 60 g | 0.18 cups | about 1/8 cup |
| 75 g | 0.22 cups | about 1/4 cup |
| 80 g | 0.24 cups | about 1/4 cup |
| 100 g | 0.29 cups | about 1/4 cup |
| 120 g | 0.35 cups | about 1/3 cup |
| 125 g | 0.37 cups | about 1/3 cup |
| 150 g | 0.44 cups | about 1/2 cup |
| 200 g | 0.59 cups | about 2/3 cup |
| 250 g | 0.74 cups | about 3/4 cup |

Weigh honey directly into the mixing bowl when possible. If using a cup, a very light coating of neutral oil helps the honey release. Warm crystallized honey gently before measuring, without making it hot.
Grams = cups × 340
One cup is 340 grams, one-half cup is about 170 grams and one-quarter cup is about 85 grams.

Honey is the heaviest ingredient on this site by cup. Substituting another syrup for it changes the weight before it changes anything about the recipe.
| Type | Grams per US cup | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Honey | 340 g | The reference on this page. |
| Maple syrup | 322 g | Thinner and slightly lighter. |
| Golden syrup | 340 g | Matches honey closely. |
| Molasses | 337 g | Near identical to honey by volume. |
| Corn syrup | 328 g | A little lighter than honey. |
| Agave nectar | 328 g | Similar weight, considerably sweeter. |
Warming honey makes it easier to pour but does not change its weight. Weigh it into the bowl and you skip the sticky measuring cup entirely.
Comparison figures are typical published US baking references. Only the honey value above is part of this site's sourced dataset.
Water content, floral source and temperature can change honey's density and flow. The 340 gram reference is a practical kitchen value, not a laboratory specification for every jar.
The converter does not assume that every cup weighs 237 or 250 grams. It uses the documented value for the exact ingredient and state selected.
If a product label or recipe publisher supplies a different gram weight for one cup, follow that recipe-specific value for the closest match to the original testing.
