Easy Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Recipe So Delicious You Will Want it on Everything!
I really like mayonnaise. I mean I really, really like it! When I am doing the Egg Fast, I use more than I normally would. It was starting to bother me that all the store bought mayo around here were made with either canola oil or soybean oil.
So I decided to make my own keto avocado oil mayonnaise recipe. There is a printable recipe card at the end of this post in case you want to print and take this recipe with you.
If you want to see how this keto avocado oil mayo fits into your keto lifestyle, I talk a little about oils and fat in another article if you want to read a list of which fats and oils are best for the Keto diet.
Is Avocado Oil Mayonnaise Better Than Regular Mayonnaise?
The issue I have with the oils used in store bought mayonnaise is the high Omega 6 content as well as the fact they are partially or fully hydrogenated. Not good!
Acocado oil is a superfood, it has healthy fats, can help reduce cholesterol, can improve your skin and your ability to heal, and so many other great health benefits. Don’t take my word for it, check out this article by healthline.
Making this homemade keto avocado oil mayo recipe is really dead simple! All you need is a jar and a stick blender.
A regular blender is NOT recommended for this recipe.
The recipe below can be customized with whatever oils and flavor you want. Add dill weed or make a curry mayo or a chipotle mayo.
The possibilities are endless! In the avocado oil mayonnaise pictured here, I used a teaspoon of dried cilantro.
A word of caution, don’t make a homemade mayonnaise recipe with extra virgin olive oil! Just don’t! I think every single person who attempts homemade mayo makes this mistake at least once.
We think because it’s a nice healthy oil it should make a great mayo. NO! It tastes like dog doodoo (not that I know first hand what that tastes like!) and you will end up throwing it out. The secret to making your own mayonnaise is using an oil with very little flavor.
I have made mayonnaise using a regular blender and yes, you can do that if you really want to, BUT don’t do it unless you have experience.
It is not foolproof like with the immersion blender. You have to first blend the egg and other ingredients and then slowly drizzle in the oil.
The immersion (or stick) blender is just my tool of choice for this job! I like the Cuisinart because it comes with a perfect jar that fits the blender and has measurements up the side. It also works beautifully!
I hope now that you have seen how easy it is to make your own mayonnaise that you will give this a try!

Oils like soybean and canola are extremely detrimental to our health, yet they're being slipped into products left and right. Avocado Oil, on the other hand, is high in monounsaturated fats, which are considered a good kind of fat that we all need to function optimally.
If your homemade mayo is too thin and looks like soup, that means you broke the emulsion and added the oil too quickly. The most important part of making this mayonnaise recipe is to slowly add the avocado oil while constantly whisking the egg yolk.
Our Classic Avocado Oil Mayo is best if used within 1 year from production as stamped on each jar. We recommend consuming our mayo within 2 months of opening.
You can also tell it has spoiled if it is yellow or brown in color. Even if your mayo looks okay, check for any acidic, sour, or bitter tastes and smells to be sure it has not gone bad. Unopened mayonnaise is likely to last for up to three months after its "best by" date.
There can be several side effects of avocado oil. For example, it causes an allergic reaction in some cases. In addition, excess consumption may lead to liver damage, mouth allergy, and gastrointestinal irritation. Furthermore, it is not safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women to consume avocado oil in excess.
Neutral Flavored Oil — By neutral flavored oil, I mean use an oil that is light in flavor. Quite a bit of oil is added to make mayonnaise, so it's important to like the flavor of the oil you use. For a clean tasting mayonnaise use something like grape seed, safflower, avocado or canola oil.
"Sir Kensington's Avocado Oil Mayonnaise is often considered a healthier choice compared to traditional mayonnaise due to its use of avocado oil as the primary ingredient.
Avocado oil and eggs are filled with healthy fats. Ripe avocados contain a blend of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fat. In addition, avocados contain oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid that can lower LDL cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease [2].
Avocado Oil Avocado oil may be stored in the refrigerator for 9 to 12 months. Canola Oil Canola oil may be stored in a cool, dark cabinet away in its original container for 4 to 6 months or in the refrigerator for 9 months.
Canola oil, avocado oil and olive oil mayonnaise are available as “healthier” options. Both are higher in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, but the calories are the same. Additionally, olive oil-based versions tend to combine olive oil with other vegetable oils so that the flavor isn't too overpowering.
In the contest of mayo versus Miracle Whip, the latter is lower in fat and has fewer calories than mayonnaise. However, Miracle Whip's higher sugar content (from high fructose corn syrup) doesn't necessarily make it a “healthier” option.
the various ingredients used to make the mayonnaise are not room temperature; the ingredients have not been dosed correctly; perhaps you have added too much oil or lemon juice; the ingredients (oil and lemon juice) were not added gradually to the mix.
Any liquid oils work for mayonnaise. However, Deb asked which are the healthiest oils to use. We prefer to use healthy traditional fats/oils — organic and cold- or expeller-pressed — like extra virgin olive oil, melted coconut oil, and/or avocado oil.
When looking for a healthy version of mayo, you want to find one that has a cold-pressed or expeller-pressed oil, such as expeller-pressed safflower oil or cold-pressed avocado oil. Cold-pressed or expeller-pressed oils were made with the least amount of processing, meaning the oil was pressed out of the plant.
For a clean tasting mayonnaise use something like grape seed, safflower, avocado or canola oil. Since posting the recipe, quite a few readers have asked about olive oil in mayonnaise.
Some healthier alternatives to mayonnaise or Miracle Whip include: Greek yogurt: It has less fat and calories than mayo and is a good source of protein. Avocado: It's a good source of healthy fats and can be mashed and used as a spread. Hummus: Made from chickpeas, it's a good source of fiber and protein.
