  • A tablespoon here is the 15 ml metric standard, about 16.67 to a metric cup, the same size as a UK tablespoon. A US tablespoon is smaller at 14.79 ml, so US cooks measuring with US spoons need slightly more. An Australian tablespoon is larger at 20 ml, so it holds about a third more.

  • A little over or under won't ruin the bake, though it can nudge the final taste or colour.

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.

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.
