Pumpkin Puree Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert pumpkin puree from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Pumpkin puree is roasted or steamed pumpkin blended into a smooth, dense paste. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 250 grams or 8.82 ounces. It's the base for pumpkin pie, spiced loaves, and muffins, and works as a vegan egg replacement (1/4 cup per egg) in autumn bakes where its earthy flavour fits.
Tinned pumpkin lists weight in grams or ounces, while recipes typically call for cups. Converting between them stops you guessing how much of a 425 g tin to use when a recipe asks for half a cup.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are pumpkin puree and pumpkin pulp the same thing?

A cup of pumpkin puree weighs 250 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 pumpkin puree in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of pumpkin puree 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 Pumpkin Puree
Applesauce
Applesauce swaps 1:1 by volume for pumpkin puree and shares its weight (250 g per cup), keeping bakes moist. It is fruitier and lighter in flavour with a paler colour, so use it when you want a neutral result rather than pumpkin's earthy, autumnal taste. See our Applesauce converter.
Mashed Banana
Mashed banana swaps 1:1 for pumpkin puree and is lighter per cup (230 g vs 250 g). It brings sweetness and a clear banana flavour plus a softer crumb, so pick it for sweet bakes; pumpkin suits savoury or spiced ones where you want body without sweetness. See our Mashed Banana converter.
