For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of dark rum or a dash of vanilla extract to the maple syrup before drizzling. Serve these baked bananas warm, on their own, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Adjust the amount of ginger and nutmeg to your personal preference. A pinch of cardamom also works beautifully. Ensure the bananas are firm, not overly ripe, to maintain their shape during baking.
