A recipe calls for 1/2 cup maple syrup — how many grams is that?

1/2 cup × 322 g = 161 g. If substituting honey for maple syrup, note that honey is slightly less dense (340 g per cup is actually higher — honey is denser than maple syrup, so check your specific syrup's grade, as density varies slightly by sugar concentration).

Is maple syrup interchangeable with honey by weight in recipes?

They're close enough for most recipes (322 g vs. 340 g per cup), but maple syrup is thinner and has a distinct flavor — a 1:1 weight substitution works for sweetness and moisture, but expect a flavor difference.

Maple Syrup: 322 Grams

Maple syrup is even denser than honey, weighing about 322 g per cup, due to its high sugar concentration relative to water. Like honey, it can be sticky to measure by volume, and a quick rinse of the measuring cup with hot water beforehand helps the syrup pour out cleanly for an accurate reading.
