Mix shotening, sweetener, egg, flour, nutmeg, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon till creamy. Add oatmeal and bananas, mix well. Add raisins or dates and nuts. Drop by tsp. full on greased cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes at 370 degrees. (Applsauce may be used in place of bananas.If mixture is too thin, add a bit more flour.) Hope this works.
