Coat a 9 x 5 -inch loaf pan, or three mini-loaf pans, lightly with oil. Dust with flour and tap out any excess. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl (heatproof), pour boiling water over the chopped dates, soaking the dates to soften them for 5 minutes. Add the baking soda and stir to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the wet ingredients, the date mixture, olive oil, lightly beaten egg, and chopped walnuts to the flour mixture, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the batter from the mixing bowl into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then remove the bread from the pan on a wire rack to cool completely. Slice with a sharp knife and serve.
