things people ask

• How much of a banana is one tablespoon mashed?
  Roughly a 1 cm slice off a medium banana, mashed, gives you a tablespoon at 14 g. If you're spooning straight from a peeled half-banana, two generous teaspoon-scoops equal one tablespoon. For recipes that call for 2-3 tablespoons mashed banana — common in single-serve mug cakes — half a small banana gets you there.
• Can I use tablespoons of banana to replace egg or oil?
  Yes, with limits. Three tablespoons (about 42 g) of mashed banana can stand in for one egg in quick breads and muffins, adding sweetness and a faint banana note. For oil swaps, use tablespoon-for-tablespoon up to half the fat — beyond that the crumb turns dense. Reduce other sugars slightly since banana brings its own.
• Does sliced banana weigh the same per tablespoon as mashed?
  No — sliced banana traps air between coins, so a tablespoon of slices weighs closer to 9-11 g, while mashed banana fills the spoon completely at 14 g. Recipes nearly always mean mashed when they list banana in tablespoons. If you're topping yogurt or cereal with slices, weight isn't the concern; eyeball it.
