Healthy Homemade Mayonnaise
Healthy Homemade Mayonnaise
"This homemade mayonnaise is the easiest 2-minute recipe. It is paleo and Whole30 and it can be made in any jar or a mug just using an electric hand immersion blender. This mayonnaise recipe is guaranteed to turn out perfect every time. It tastes absolutely amazing and is a lot healthier than any store-bought. How you may ask? Well because it is made with the best wholesome ingredients and no processed and difficult to pronounce ingredients are in there. "
NotesAvocado oil – is particularly our favourite and the one I make the most primarily because it is a healthy option and it’s neutral when it comes to taste and flavours.
Eggs – Use as fresh eggs as possible. Use organic ideally procured from a sustainable source like a local farm or farmer’s markets. I’ve made mayonnaise with store-bought eggs as well in the past and it was all ok, no problem.

Ingredients
- 200 ml avocado oil (1 cup)
- 1 whole egg yolk (fresh organic)
- 1 tsp mustard or 2 teaspoons depending on how you like it
- 1 tsp cider vinegar use organic with mother
- 1 pinch salt kosher or pink Himalayan
- 1 pinch black pepper
-
Take out any tall glass (mug or a jar) with a wide enough bottom to fit a hand blender all the way to touch the bottom.
-
Add the egg yolk (try not to break it) then add the vinegar, mustard, and salt on top of the egg yolk. No whizzing yet!
-
Pour the avocado oil over. Still no whizzing!
-
Very slowly submerge the blender all the way into the bottom of the jar till touch the bottom and start whizzing at med-high power and without moving the blender for approximately 20-25 seconds. You will just see the mayo will start turning white/yellowish.
-
Now, move the blender upwards but not getting it out into the air. Go downwards again into the jar till reached the bottom again. Go up and down a few more times until you have the mayonnaise all formed. This is it, in 2 min you have the mayo. That includes all the preps and gathering the ingredients. Pretty quick and easy, right?
