Mashed Banana Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert mashed banana from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Mashed banana is ripe banana flesh fork-mashed into a soft, lumpy puree. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 230 grams or 8.11 ounces. It's the headline ingredient in banana bread and muffins, and works as a vegan egg replacement (1/4 cup per egg) where its sweetness and flavour fit the recipe.
One medium banana yields roughly 1/3 cup mashed (about 75 g), and recipes vary in whether they list cups or grams. Weighing keeps results consistent across different banana sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are mashed banana and banana puree the same thing?

A cup of mashed banana weighs 230 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.
- What is 0.25 cups of mashed banana in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of mashed banana is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring.

Related to Mashed Banana
Applesauce
Applesauce swaps 1:1 by volume for mashed banana as an egg or fat replacer and stays neutral in flavour, heavier per cup (250 g vs 230 g). Use it when you want the recipe's other flavours to lead, without the banana taste and sweetness; the crumb stays moist and tender. See our Applesauce converter.
Pumpkin Puree
Pumpkin puree swaps 1:1 for mashed banana and is a little heavier per cup (250 g vs 230 g). It adds moisture with a savoury, earthy flavour rather than sweetness, so it suits spiced loaves and muffins where you want the body without the banana taste. See our Pumpkin Puree converter.
