¾ cup boiling water
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
Chef's tip
Use the same volume. Brown-sugar replacements vary in moisture, spread, and browning, so follow the package's baking guidance and start checking a few minutes early.
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line it with a strip of parchment paper that overhangs the two long sides, leaving handles for easy removal.
2
Place the chopped dates and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Pour the boiling water over them and stir briefly to combine. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes, until the dates have softened and the liquid has cooled to near room temperature.
