How Much Is 5 Cups of Mashed Banana in Ounces?
5 cups of mashed banana equals 39.68 oz. Mashed banana has a density of 225g per cup (225g per cup), which means it's relatively heavy compared to other common cooking ingredients. For comparison, 5 cups of all-purpose flour would be 22.07 oz.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 cups of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 5 × 225 = 1,125g
- Convert grams to ounces: 1,125 ÷ 28.3495 = 39.68 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed and pureed ingredients vary in density depending on texture. A smoother puree packs more densely per cup than a chunky one.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
