Mashed banana: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of mashed banana weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of mashed banana in each:

| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 270 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 190 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Mashed banana by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of mashed banana weighs about 14.1g, and one teaspoon about 4.69g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon mashed banana to grams = 14.1g
- 2 tablespoons mashed banana = 28.1g
- 3 tablespoons mashed banana = 42.2g
- 1 teaspoon mashed banana = 4.69g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of mashed banana is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 1.01 cups of mashed banana — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of mashed banana weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of mashed banana?
Because one cup of mashed banana weighs about 225 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 225. So 100g of mashed banana is about 0.44 cups, 200g is about 0.89 cups, 250g is about 1.11 cups, and 300g is about 1.33 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure mashed banana accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh mashed banana on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of mashed banana weighs about 225 grams (7.94 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts mashed banana and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Use heavily speckled, very ripe bananas for the sweetest flavour. Two medium bananas give about 1 cup mashed.
