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.
Why Doesn't My Mayonnaise Thicken? 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.
The taste for me was amazing. Taste is always a matter of individual tastes, and this is different than usual store-bought mayonnaises I've had over the years, but this is so much better. This tastes more like fresh home made mayo.
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. Open mayonnaise can last in the fridge for about two months.
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. You can use olive oil, but it can be a little overpowering so I prefer to use a brand that's light and fruity.
But new research shows that a large amount of options on the shelves may be rancid or tainted with other oils and additives. Virgin and extra virgin avocado oil should be green and have mild flavors. Prioritize avocado oil brands that test every batch for purity and quality.
“Products that lack an antioxidant or preservative are likely to develop rancidity in the oil,” he wrote, “and that can be metallic, fishy, painty, or stale-nut-like depending on the recipe.”

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.
Avocado oil mayonnaise is rich in monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and anti-inflammatory—in contrast to the inflammatory oils used in most mayos. And, avocado oil has a high smoke point, so you can safely use this homemade avocado oil mayo in sauces or marinades for cooking.
Unlike traditional mayonnaise, which typically uses soybean oil and also contains ingredients like added sugar and "natural flavors," you can have your mayo and make it healthier, keto- and Paleo-approved mayonnaise (while still having it taste good!) using avocado oil, eggs, vinegar, and salt. That's it.
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.
