How Much Is 20 Grams of Mashed Banana in Teaspoons?
Converting 20 grams of mashed banana to teaspoons gives 4.27 tsp. Divide by the density of mashed banana (225g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 20 grams of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 20g ÷ 225g/cup = 0.09 cups × 48 = 4.27 teaspoons
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 Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
What is a Teaspoon?
A US teaspoon is 4.929 ml, a metric teaspoon is exactly 5 ml, and an imperial teaspoon is 5.919 ml. The metric and US versions are nearly identical (1.4% difference), but the imperial teaspoon is 20% larger. For most spices the difference is negligible, but for leaveners like baking powder it can affect the result.
