Measuring 120g of Mashed Ripe Banana in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of mashed ripe banana weighs 225g when measured packed, 120 Grams (120g) translates to 0.53 US cups (½ cup + 1 ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ½ cup + 1 ½ tsp (8.53 tablespoons total) using packed technique. Mash peeled ripe speckled bananas thoroughly with a fork until mostly smooth, then spoon into a dry measuring cup and level. Chunkiness creates trapped pockets, whereas smooth mashed puree settles consistently to 225 grams per cup.
