Ingredients
Base & Crumb (one dough used twice):
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup oil (canola or neutral oil)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
Filling:
- ¾–1 cup 100% pistachio paste

Directions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Line a 9x9 pan with parchment.
Make the dough:
- Mix flour, sugar, salt, baking powder.
- Add oil, egg, and vanilla. Mix until crumbly but holds together when pressed.
Press the base:
- Press about 2/3 of the dough firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Add pistachio layer:
- Warm the pistachio paste slightly (10–15 seconds microwave) so it spreads easier.
- Spread a thin even layer over the base.
Add blueberry filling:
- Spoon blueberry filling evenly over the pistachio layer.
Top with crumble:
- Sprinkle remaining dough crumbs over the top.
- Bake 35–40 minutes until golden on top.
- Cool completely before cutting (important so it sets).
