1 Cup of Honey in Grams
1 cup of honey weighs 340 grams (about 12 oz), based on 340 g per US cup (1 US cup = 240 ml). That's the same as 16 tablespoons of honey. When a recipe's outcome depends on accuracy — especially baking — weigh it instead of measuring by cup.
One US cup is the reference every other fraction on this page derives from: 340 g of honey (1 US cup = 240 ml). Halve it for 170 g, double it for 680 g.

|---|---|---|---|
| Half | ½ cup | 170 g | 8 tablespoons |
| As written | 1 cup | 340 g | 16 tablespoons |
| Double | 2 cups | 680 g | 32 tablespoons |
