Cups of Honey to grams
One US cup (240 ml) of honey weighs about 339 grams (12 oz), measured liquid measure.
Honey is one of the heaviest things in the baking aisle: at 339 g per US cup it weighs over 40% more than water. It is a liquid, so the conversion is dependable — the challenge is getting it all out of the cup.

How to measure Honey by volume
- Lightly oil the measuring cup (or measure fat first) so the honey releases cleanly.
- Fill to the line and let it settle — thick honey traps air pockets as it mounds.
- Scrape thoroughly; what stays in the cup is missing from your bake.
Why the weight varies
Honey is a dense liquid; temperature and crystallisation change how it pours, not its weight per volume much.
Swapping honey for sugar changes both weight and liquid balance: honey is about 17% water. Crystallized honey weighs the same per cup once warmed back to liquid.
Which value we publish, and why
We publish 339 g per US cup (USDA FoodData Central); King Arthur’s 21 g per tablespoon scales to about 336 g.
