Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and bananas; mix well. Stir in flour and nutmeg. Dissolve soda in hot water; add to banana mixture. Stir in vanilla.
Fill greased muffin pans, or paper baking cups, about half full. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. These are a favorite for children's school lunches, and stay moist and fresh quite a long time.
