How to Substitute Honey for Sugar?

Use 3/4 cup honey for every 1 cup sugar

Reduce other liquids in the recipe by 1/4 cup for each 1 cup honey used

Lower oven temperature by 25°F when baking

Add 1/4 teaspoon baking soda per 1 cup honey if the recipe needs extra lift

Reduce the total baking time and check for doneness early

Use mild-flavored honey for neutral-tasting recipes

Use less honey if the recipe already contains other sweet ingredients

Stir honey into wet ingredients before combining with dry ingredients

Grease pans well, since honey can make baked goods stick more easily
