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.

Related Mashed Banana Ingredients

Applesauce is the neutral-flavoured alternative to mashed banana. Both replace eggs or fat in moisture-heavy bakes; applesauce won't add banana flavour, so it's the better swap when you want the recipe's other flavours to come through. Swap 1:1 by volume. See our Applesauce converter.

Pumpkin puree is denser than mashed banana (250 g vs 230 g per cup) and brings a savoury, earthy flavour rather than sweetness. Use it as a 1:1 swap when you want the moisture without the banana taste, or for spiced autumn bakes. See our Pumpkin Puree converter.
