Measuring 16 oz (1 lb) of Mashed Ripe Banana in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of mashed ripe banana weighs 225g when measured packed, 16 Ounces (453.6g) translates to 2.02 US cups (2 cups + ¾ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 2 cups + ¾ tsp (32.26 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.
