Measuring 85g of Mashed Ripe Banana in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of mashed ripe banana weighs 225g when measured packed, 85 Grams (85g) translates to 0.38 US cups (⅓ cup + 2 ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ⅓ cup + 2 ¼ tsp (6.04 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.
