How Much Is 8.58 Grams of Mashed Banana in Teaspoons?
8.58 grams of mashed banana equals 1.83 tsp. Mashed banana has a density of 225g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 8.58 grams of mashed banana
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 8.58g ÷ 225g/cup = 0.04 cups × 48 = 1.83 teaspoons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Mashed banana is commonly used as a fat or egg substitute in baking. When substituting, convert by weight for accuracy.

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?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
