Grams of Honey to Cups
Honey is a liquid sweetener significantly denser than sugar, milk, or most other common ingredients. At 340 g per cup, using a generic 'sugar = 200 g per cup' rule for honey would leave a recipe about 40% short. Honey also adds moisture and browning, so it is not a direct sugar substitute in most recipes.
Density note: Very dense liquid sweetener · 340 g per cup
340g ÷ 340g/cup = 1.00 cups

How to Measure Honey Accurately
Small measuring errors in honey can have a noticeable impact on your results. Follow these steps for the most consistent outcome.
Confirm the recipe unit
Check whether the recipe means grams, cups, tablespoons, or ounces before converting. Mixing units is the most common source of errors.
Use the right measuring tool
Use dry measuring cups for dry ingredients (flour, sugar, oats) and liquid measuring cups for liquids (oil, honey, milk). The type of cup changes the reading.
Use a liquid measuring cup; honey clings to dry cups.
The way you fill the cup changes the final weight. Lightly oil the measuring cup before adding honey — it will slide out cleanly without waste.
Weigh for repeatability
A digital kitchen scale removes all measuring variables and makes it easy to reproduce exactly the same result every time you bake or cook.
