Chef Lupe Ledesma's banana bread is the kind of Keys comfort food people remember after the trip ends. It is simple, generous, and perfect for a slow vacation morning with coffee.

Ingredients

• Ripe bananas
• Flour, sugar, eggs, butter, baking soda, and salt
• Vanilla, cinnamon, and optional nuts or chocolate chips

Method

Mash the bananas, mix the wet ingredients, fold in the dry ingredients, and bake until the loaf is golden and fragrant. Let it cool before slicing so the texture stays tender.

Enjoy it plain, warm it with butter, or bring it along for an easy boat-day snack. It is a little taste of Lazy Days made for sharing.
