How Much Is 30 Grams of Mashed Banana in Tablespoons?
30 grams of mashed banana equals 2.13 tbsp. Mashed banana has a density of 225g per cup. Because grams measure weight and tablespoons measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 30 grams of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 30g ÷ 225g/cup = 0.13 cups × 16 = 2.13 tablespoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Tablespoon?
A tablespoon (tbsp) is a US customary unit of volume equal to 14.787 milliliters, 3 teaspoons, or 1/16 of a cup. It is commonly used for measuring smaller amounts of ingredients.
