Homemade Mayonnaise Recipe

I love mayo.

When I was a kid, I used to eat mayonnaise sandwiches. That’s how much I loved the stuff! (Don’t judge!)

I’m still a pretty big mayo fan, though I like to think my palate is a bit more sophisticated now (no more mayo sandwiches). However, I still use mayonnaise all the time!

Is Mayonnaise Keto-Friendly?

Yes!

Well to be specific, homemade mayonnaise (like this recipe) is keto-friendly. It’s made with simple, real food ingredients and contains no carbs.

Essentially, if you’re following a strict ketogenic diet, you can have as much of this mayo as you want! If you’re not on a low-carb or keto diet, this homemade mayonnaise is still a healthier alternative than most store-bought versions; however, you might want to stick to a serving size of 1-2 Tablespoons.

Health Benefits of Homemade Mayo

  • Homemade mayonnaise is made with simple, real ingredients. Egg yolks are rich in Omega 3s, protein, and B vitaminsΒ β€” all of which you need in your life!
  • This homemade mayonnaise recipe is keto-friendly. You can also incorporate into a paleo diet if you omit the Dijon mustard (unless you make your own or check the ingredients on the bottle to make sure there aren’t any non-paleo additives).
  • Making your own mayonnaise allows you to know exactly what goes into your foodΒ β€” no chemicals or additives.

Homemade mayonnaise is not only delicious, but good for you too! Simple, real food ingredients, gluten free, easy paleo option.

Begin whisking ingredients in bowl. While you whisk, slowly drizzle in the oil. As you continue to whisk, the oil will cause the mixture to thicken.

Keep whisking until you’ve incorporated about half of the oil.

Pause whisking to add the lemon juice and vinegar. Whisk again to mix them in.

Begin pouring the rest of the oil into the bowl and continue whisking until all the oil is incorporated into the mayonnaise. It should be thick and creamy, and light in color.

Homemade mayonnaise is not only delicious, but good for you too! Simple, real food ingredients, gluten free, easy paleo option.

      Hi Aubre – You can use white, apple cider, anything that’s fairly light in flavor.

          It takes a lot of whipping! You could also try an inversion blender so speed things up.

      Hi Laura – this recipe takes a lot of TLC and a little elbow grease. The video is sped up so that people don’t get bored watching LOL – but it really does take a few minutes to get mayo consistency. The other thing to keep in mind is that homemade mayo won’t be as thick as the packaged kind – those have thickeners and stuff to make it that way. So if your mayo was a little runnier, that’s normal.

    Okay, I next to NEVER leave comments on recipes; however, I had to let you know that this turned out fantastic! Other recipes call for using immersion blenders and wanted to try it the good ole fashioned way by hand/whisk (other than my arm feels like it’s gonna fall off because I took to heart the part about adding the oil slowly) and it worked absolutely perfectly! And, most of all it came out light, thick, and sooo creamy and delicious! Anyway, just wanted to say THANKS and great recipe/instructions! I’ve pinned for the next batch!
