Why mashed banana needs its own conversion
Mashed Banana weighs about 227g per cup — in the middle of the density range for common baking ingredients. King Arthur = 227 g/cup (~2 medium bananas). A cup is a unit of volume, so ingredients this different in density can't share one generic conversion factor — using a single "1 cup = X g" rule for everything will be wrong for at least some of what you cook.
Common measurement mistakes
- Using a generic cup-to-gram factor for every ingredient — mashed banana does not weigh the same per cup as most other ingredients.
- Measurement note: King Arthur = 227 g/cup (~2 medium bananas).
- Confusing weight ounces with fluid ounces when a recipe lists "oz" — they are not interchangeable.
