How Much Is 16 Ounces of Honey in Tablespoons?
Converting 16 ounces of honey to tablespoons gives 21.35 tbsp. First convert to grams (16 oz = 453.59g), then divide by the density of honey (340g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16 ounces of honey
- Convert ounces to grams: 16 × 28.35 = 453.59g
- 1 cup of honey = 340g
- 453.59g ÷ 340g/cup = 1.33 cups × 16 = 21.35 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Sticky liquids like honey are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring spoon first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

Understanding the Units
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
What is a Tablespoon?
One tablespoon holds about 15 milliliters. There are 16 tablespoons in a cup and 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. In baking, tablespoon measurements are used for butter, oil, honey, and other ingredients where a full cup would be too much.
