Honey grams to cups
One US cup of honey weighs about 340 grams.
A supersaturated sugar solution made by bees, with almost no air in it. That is why a cup weighs about 340 grams — nearly three times a cup of flour, and heavier even than water.

Honey in tablespoons, teaspoons and millilitres

One US cup is 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons, whatever is in it — those two are volume measures, so no density is involved.
Measuring notes
Oil the measuring cup first, or weigh it straight into the bowl. Honey left clinging to a cup can easily be a tenth of what the recipe wanted.

Honey — common questions
Why is honey so much heavier than flour?
Honey is a dense liquid with very little air in it, so a cup holds around 340 grams. Flour is a powder full of air pockets and the same cup holds only about 120 grams. Nearly three times the weight for the same volume.
How many cups is 100 grams?
It depends entirely on the ingredient. 100 grams of all-purpose flour is about 0.83 cups, but 100 grams of honey is only about 0.29 cups, because honey is far denser. Grams measure weight and cups measure volume, so there is no single conversion that works for everything.
Why do different converters give different answers?
Mostly because they assume different measuring techniques. Flour spooned gently into a cup weighs around 120 grams; the same cup dipped straight into the bag can hold 140 grams. Both figures are defensible, so two sites can disagree by 15% and neither is lying. We publish separate figures for each technique rather than picking one.
Are these conversions exact?
No, and no weight-to-volume conversion can be. Density shifts with packing, humidity, grind and brand. Treat every result here as a close approximation. If precision matters, weigh your ingredients.
Should I use grams or cups?
Grams, whenever you have a scale. Weight does not change with how you fill the cup, so it is reproducible, and weighing straight into the bowl means less washing up. Cups are convenient, not accurate.
