1 cup of boiling water
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 + 1/2 cup self-raising flour

In a large bowl or mixer, beat the brown sugar and egg until well combined, then slowly add the olive oil.
In a separate bowl, lightly mix the flour, baking powder and salt together.
Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with the dates (after discarding the water).
Add and mix in the chopped walnuts.
Pour the mixture into a bread pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
