3/4 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 c. mashed bananas (2 to 3 bananas)

(Use fully ripe or all yellow bananas). Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Beat shortening until creamy. Add sugar gradually and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Add bananas, rolled oats and nut meats and mix thoroughly. Add flour mixture and blend. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie pans about 1 1/2 inches apart.
