What is Banana Puree?
Banana puree is made by mashing or blending ripe bananas into a smooth, thick fruit purée. It has a naturally sweet, mellow flavour and a soft, creamy texture, with a little more sweetness as the bananas ripen. It can be served on its own or stirred into porridge, yoghurt and smoothies, and used to add moisture and sweetness to baking.
Across many English-speaking kitchens, it is a handy ingredient for desserts and baby foods as well as a quick breakfast addition. It provides carbohydrate and some fibre; a 100 g portion has 2.6 g of fibre. Choose ripe bananas for a sweeter result, and skip added sugar in recipes where their natural sweetness is enough.

Frequently Asked Questions About Banana Puree
How do you make banana puree?
Peel a ripe banana and mash it with a fork for a slightly textured puree, or blend it until smooth. You usually do not need to cook the banana. For a baby, serve it plain rather than adding sugar or salt.
Can babies eat banana puree?
Yes, babies can eat banana puree once they are ready for solid foods, usually around 6 months. Offer a smooth texture and a small amount at first, and make sure your baby is sitting upright and able to swallow food.
Can you freeze banana puree?
Yes, banana puree freezes well in small, airtight portions. Thaw it in the refrigerator and stir before using; it may release liquid or become softer after thawing. That texture change is usually less noticeable in porridge, smoothies, or baking.
How long does banana puree last in the fridge?
Fresh banana puree keeps for about 1–2 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. It browns quickly when exposed to air. If you are serving it to a baby, discard any portion that has been in contact with the used spoon.
What bananas are best for banana puree?
Fully ripe yellow bananas, often with brown speckles, make the smoothest and sweetest banana puree. They mash easily without cooking. Green or firm bananas are harder to blend and give the puree a starchier, less sweet taste.
How do you stop banana puree from turning brown?
To slow browning, cover banana puree tightly and refrigerate it promptly, or make it just before serving. The brown color comes from exposure to air and does not by itself mean the puree has spoiled; check its smell and texture too.
Is banana puree the same as mashed banana?
Not always: mashed banana is usually made with a fork and can have lumps, while banana puree is blended or strained until smooth. For baking, either often works, but use puree when a recipe or a baby’s texture needs a uniform consistency.
Can banana puree replace eggs in baking?
Yes, banana puree can replace eggs in some cakes and pancakes, adding moisture and sweetness. It does not work equally well in every recipe: baked goods may turn denser, and recipes that rely on eggs for structure may not hold together as well.
Can you cook banana puree?
Yes, banana puree can be cooked as part of a recipe, such as muffins, pancakes, or a warm porridge. It does not need cooking to be edible, though; ripe bananas are soft enough to mash and serve as they are.
Can you use banana puree in smoothies?
Yes, banana puree blends easily into smoothies and adds sweetness and a creamy texture. Use it in place of fresh banana when convenient, but remember that thawed puree can be softer and may need a quick stir before blending.
