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.

Applesauce is the lighter, fruitier alternative to pumpkin puree. Both share a 250 g per cup density, so swap 1:1 by volume. Use applesauce when you want a neutral flavour, pumpkin when an earthy, autumnal taste fits. See our Applesauce converter.

Mashed banana is sweeter and softer than pumpkin puree, and a bit lighter (230 g vs 250 g per cup). Both replace eggs or fat in moist bakes; pick banana when you want sweetness, pumpkin when you want a savoury or spiced result. See our Mashed Banana converter.
