How Much Is 11.9 Ounces of Mashed Banana in Tablespoons?
11.9 ounces of mashed banana equals 23.99 tbsp. 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 11.9 ounces of mashed banana
- Convert ounces to grams: 11.9 × 28.35 = 337.36g
- 1 cup of mashed banana = 225g
- 337.36g ÷ 225g/cup = 1.50 cups × 16 = 23.99 tablespoons
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.

What is a Tablespoon?
Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.
