Step 1: Prepare the Dates

Microwave the milk for 45 seconds in a small bowl. Add the pitted dates and let them soak for 20 minutes to soften. Blend until smooth.

Step 3: Bake

Pour the batter into a parchment-lined or oiled loaf tin. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
