Cream shortening, sugar, eggs, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the crushed pineapple and stir. Add the flour and milk. Mix until smooth. Add oatmeal, raisins, and nuts. Lightly spray the bottom of the Dutch oven with oil. Bake for 15 minutes. Optional: Add 2 tablespoons of flax seed, instead of using 3 cups flour use 1 cup white flour and 2 cups wheat flour, or use 2 ¾ cups wheat flour.

Note: I save some of the batch so we can have some left over for a quick grab-and-run breakfast, (If there are any left) I usually double the batch.
