Keto Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Recipe

Creamy, delicious and ready in less than 2 minutes, this avocado oil mayonnaise is the keto mayo recipe to make! Made with either an immersion blender, food processor or with a whisk, it's super easy and quick to make a batch of this healthy homemade mayonnaise.

You might be wondering if mayo on keto is allowed. It certainly is as it's a great fat to add to your daily diet, but the type of oil used and the ingredients used is also important to consider.

Since mayonnaise is just oil and egg yolks with some seasoning, you want to make sure to choose a keto mayo recipe that uses healthy oils. Most store-bought brands of mayonnaise will use soybean oil, vegetable oils, or other highly refined oils. Most of the time these oils are genetically modified and I personally am not a fan of GMO ingredients so making your own keto mayonnaise can save you the trouble of avoiding GMO oils.

So yes, you can have mayo on keto, just make sure to read the nutritional label and ingredients. Some brands will also add sugar, which mayo really doesn't need!

If you don't have time to make your own keto mayonnaise, there are a few brands out there that offer keto-friendly mayonnaise. These all use avocado oil as their base and the other ingredients are either organic or keto friendly.

Since 99% of mayo is oil, you'll want to choose a healthy oil to make it. Note that homemade mayonnaise can be made with any type of oil, but I prefer to use healthier oils as keto paleo mayo is a large part of my diet.

Avocado Oil Mayonnaise

You want to make sure to use cold pressed and refined avocado oil before making this keto paleo mayo recipe. Avocado oil that is not cold pressed will taste completely rancid, like rotten avocados, so make sure you find one that says cold pressed!

Avocado oil that's been cold pressed and refined is really clear in color and practically tasteless. It's very similar to vegetable oil in terms of taste and color.

Another favorite is using olive oil to make homemade keto mayonnaise. You want to make sure to use extra light olive oil and NOT the extra-virgin kind as that will taste way too bitter. Extra light olive oil is also really light in color and practically tasteless. It's perfect for this keto paleo mayo recipe.

You can also make paleo mayo using coconut oil. You want to make sure to use fractionated coconut oil. Fractionated coconut oil is coconut oil that is always liquid, even at room temperature. It's practically tasteless and perfect for making homemade paleo mayonnaise.

The reason why I don't recommend using normal coconut oil or refined coconut oil is because it solidifies once cooled and so your homemade mayo will thicken up in the fridge once it's cooled down.

You can make homemade keto paleo mayo with MCT oil, but you won't see many recipes using it or any brands selling it. The reason is because it's just too expensive to make.

Avocado Oil Mayo

It makes a great mayonnaise but not everyone will have the wallet to make it. If you'd like to have some of the MCT oil benefits, I recommend adding just 1-2 tablespoons into this keto mayo recipe. That way you'll be able to save money while eating the good stuff!

If you feel uncomfortable using raw eggs in mayonnaise, you'll want to make sure to buy pasteurized eggs as those are safe to eat raw. If you live in Japan, like me, you can use any of the eggs sold at any supermarket. All eggs are safe to eat raw in Japan as it's a common thing to eat.

You can use whichever as both work for making homemade keto mayo. I find that using two egg yolks instead of one whole egg makes the keto mayonnaise much creamier and thick, but that's a personal choice.

I like to use egg yolks in any sauce I make just because it makes things creamier. Just like in my keto caesar dressing , I used an egg yolk instead of a whole egg.

If you decide to use two egg yolks, you'll have some leftover egg whites. You can make my keto buns or my keto tortillas with the extra egg whites.

This keto mayo recipe is so easy to make whichever method you choose. You can make this keto mayonnaise by either using an immersion blender, a food processor or a whisk.

Avocado Mayo Recipe (keto, Paleo)

This is the quickest method to making this 2 minute keto mayo. All you need to do is add the egg yolks, dijon mustard, lemon juice and salt to the blender cup. Add the avocado oil over the ingredients.

Place your immersion blender all the way to the bottom and pulse for a few seconds the egg yolks. Once the egg yolks start to thicken, becoming white-beige, you can start moving the immersion blender up and down to blend more oil.

The immersion blender mayo should take about 25-30 seconds to make in total. I find that the immersion blender mayo makes a much thicker mayonnaise than every other method.

Making a food processor mayo is quite similar to the immersion blender mayo method, but you'll be using a food processor instead.

All you need to do is add your egg yolks, lemon juice, dijon mustard and salt to a food processor and pulse a few times. Then you'll slowly drizzle in the oil, a little at a time, in a slow stream. You don't want to add in the oil too fast or you might break your keto mayo.

Once you start adding the oil, you'll notice the mayo starts to thicken up instantly. Don't ever stop the food processor, keep it running until all of the oil has been added.

Food processor mayo should be ready in about 3 minutes. That's how long it took me to whisk and slowly add all of the oil in the food processor. Paleo mayo made in a food processor also turns out really creamy and smooth and much less thick than the immersion blender mayo.

Hand-whisked mayo is a foolproof method of making homemade mayonnaise. There are a couple ways you can do it as it's just like fixing a broken mayo.

It can be a little challenging to make hand-whisked mayo because you kind of need 3 hands. One to hold the bowl, one to whisk the mayo, and one to drizzle in the oil. Since I don't have 3 hands, I usually add the oil in small batches, then hold the bowl with one hand and whisk with the other.

So to make hand-whisked mayo, you'll need to add all of the keto mayo ingredients to a bowl and mix it all together. It will be completely broken and just look like yellow oil.

Add a tablespoon of cold water to a separate bowl and slowly drizzle in the mixed oil inside the water while whisking. The mayo will start to thicken instantly. Just continue whisking until you've added all of the oil.

If you'd like to make a thicker mayonnaise, you'll want to add an extra egg yolk to the recipe. This will thicken up the homemade mayonnaise really good.

If you'd like to make a thinner mayonnaise, you'll want to add 1-3 tablespoons of almond milk to the finished mayonnaise. Whisk it really quickly in and your mayo will be considerably thinner.

Homemade keto mayo doesn't last as long as store-bought mayonnaise as it doesn't have any additives added to it to help it last longer. This avocado oil mayonnaise will last 8-12 days in the fridge, so you'll want to use it quickly in different recipes.

Add your keto mayonnaise to a large Tupperware and make sure it's completely sealed before putting in the fridge. If the keto mayo is exposed to air, the top will dry out.

The Best 5 Minute Keto Mayonnaise

Many recipes will ask to use room temperature egg yolks before making mayonnaise. Honestly, it doesn't make a difference. I've used cold egg yolks and room temperature egg yolks and both times I ended up with the same exact recipe.

I personally don't have the time to wait for the egg yolks to come to room temperature, so feel free to use cold ones!

Lemon juice adds a bit of tartness to the recipe so I really recommend using it. You can use lemon juice, lime juice, white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.

Yes! I highly recommend adding any type of spices you like. You can make garlic aioli, chipotle mayo, chili mayo or more! Just add the spices with the egg yolks and you're all set to go.

Breaking a mayo, hollandaise sauce, bearnaise or aioli is quite common and happens to the best of us. There are several reasons why a mayo can break. It could be that the oil was added too fast to the egg yolk, it could be that the whisking was too slow or it could be because of a forgotten ingredient!

But rest easy as it's SUPER SIMPLE to fix a broken mayo. To fix a broken mayo, you can do any of the
