Instructions:

- Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean.

- Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Ensure the dates are pitted and finely chopped to help them blend well into the loaf mixture.
- Toast the walnuts lightly before adding them to the mixture for an enhanced nutty flavor.
- Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them up, which will make them easier to incorporate into the batter.
- Use a combination of brown sugar and maple syrup for a rich, deep sweetness.
- Carefully measure out the ingredients to get the best texture and flavor balance in the loaf.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
