Honey Grams to Cups Converter
Convert honey between grams, cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, ounces, and milliliters. Handy when a recipe gives weight but your kitchen is set up for spoons and cups.
Convert honey measurements
Use the default honey density for everyday recipes, or adjust it if your jar label gives a different weight per tablespoon.
For baking, grams are the cleanest measurement because honey clings to cups and spoons.

Why honey conversions are different
Honey is much denser than water, milk, or many oils. A US cup of honey is usually around 340 grams, so a simple milliliter-to-gram swap will make recipes too light.
Temperature matters too. Warm honey pours and levels more easily, while raw or crystallized honey can trap air pockets. For fussy baking, weigh the honey directly into the bowl.
Honey conversion FAQ
How many tablespoons is 100 grams of honey?

Can I use this for maple syrup or molasses?
Use this page for honey. Maple syrup and molasses have different densities, so their cup and tablespoon weights are close but not identical.
Should honey be measured by weight or volume?
Weight is better for baking because it avoids sticky measuring cups and gives a more consistent result. Volume is usually fine for tea, sauces, and marinades.
