How to make Keto + Whole30 Mayonnaise
This recipe is really so easy, you won’t believe it! Here’s all you need:
- Equipment – An immersion blender or high-powered blender (you can save 20% off Blendtec purchases with our discount code RSG20).
- Avocado oil – Our preferred oil because it is healthy and light-tasting.
- Eggs – Preferably organic pasteurized eggs. Quality matters here.
- Sea salt – I recommend starting with 1/2 tsp and adjusting up to taste.
- Mustard powder – Easily found at most stores.
- Lemon juice – Fresh squeezed is best.
That’s it, a 5-ingredient mayo that’s way better than store-bought. Just add everything to a jar and slowly process it with your immersion blender.
Tips for making homemade Keto mayonnaise
This truly is a 5-minute, no fail recipe. If you follow the instructions, you’ll get a thick and creamy mayo every time. Here are a few additional tips to help you out:
Immersion blender tips:
- Use a jar or container that is only a tiny bit bigger than the immersion blender. This will help the blender emulsify the oil quickly. I highly recommend using a pint jar if you have one.
- Start with the immersion blender at the bottom of the jar and don’t move it until you see the bottom turning white and looking like mayo. See the picture below.
Regular blender tips:
- Add all of the ingredients except for the oil to the blender.
- Measure out the oil and have it ready to pour.
- Start the blender. While the blender is running, slowly pour in the avocado oil.
PRO TIP: When using a regular blender, slowly pour in the avocado oil while the blender is running to help it emulsify and thicken.

Whole30 + Keto Avocado Oil Mayo
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups avocado oil
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 tsp sea salt, (1/2 to 1 tsp, see instructions)
- 1 tsp mustard powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice, (can sub apple cider vinegar)
Equipment
Instructions
- Place all of the mayo ingredients in a pint jar or 2 cup pyrex measuring cup. You want a container just wide enough for your immersion blender and this recipe was created specifically to fit a wide mouth pint jar.
- Place the immersion blender at the bottom of the container. Start blending while holding the blender at the bottom. Don’t move the blender from the bottom until the mayo begins to emulsify and thicken. Once it starts to thicken, slowly move the immersion blender to the top until all of the oil is completely mixed in.
- Taste and season with additional salt, as desired. I ended up using exactly 1 tsp of sea salt. If you add more salt, be sure to blend the mayo again.
- Refrigerate immediately and use within two weeks.
Notes
So easy and foolproof if you follow the directions! My first attempt flopped due to a substitution, but I’ve successfully made this mayo three times since and love the simplicity and the ease of making healthy mayo. I usually turn most of it into an aioli-type sauce by adding red wine vinegar and diced garlic. Delicious!
Sounds great Debi, glad you’ve enjoyed this one 🙂
I really liked this recipe! One thing I would do differently is to pour the oil in slowly with the immersion blender running. I tried to do everything at once, but my mayo “broke”. Fortunately, I watched a youtube video and was able to salvage it.
Sorry the method didn’t work for you, it always works perfectly for us with the immersion blender as written. Glad you were able to salvage it.
The first time I tried this recipe the emulsification process didn’t go well but I had not followed the recipe exactly. The 2nd time the mayo looked perfect but tasted too strong because I only had olive oil. This third try produced classic mayo in a very short time. (I learned that some culinary items must be exact even though my MO is estimation and substitution. 😀 )
Sometimes a little trial and error is needed to get it right! Glad the third time it worked well for you 🙂
I make it every week! So good.
What is the serving size? I see nutrition label per serving but not how much each serving is
A serving is 2 tbsp (it’s at the top of the recipe card). So glad this recipe is in your regular rotation!
A little adventure. I ran out of avocado oil and used extra virgin olive oil. It was a great consistency but bitter. Too bitter. So I tried the hot water plus olive oil method to cut the bitterness. Came out pretty good. No bitterness but the flavor seemed lacking in some way. I’ll tune up the flavor a little more. But overall, this is a very good recipe. Love that stick blender!
That’s a bummer you ran out of avocado oil. It’s definitely our preference for homemade mayo since olive oil has such a strong flavor. Glad you were able to make it work though!

I love making homemade Mayo and this recipe is very easy. I used Extra Light Olive Oil instead of avocado oil as I prefer the flavor of olive oil. Still very tasty and great for all sorts of recipes!
Amazing! Thanks so much for trying so many of our recipes and taking the time to leave reviews. We’re so grateful! 🙂
I have tried a few commercial brand avocado mayos and did not like the taste. I was about to give up on avocado mayo. I am glad I gave this recipe a try. It is creamy, delicious and comes together so quickly. I will definitely be making this my go to mayo recipe.
Amazing! So happy to hear we made you a believer! We make this mayo and other versions of it often. Thanks for coming back to let us know how it went. You’ll have to check out our Chipotle Aioli and Bacon Aioli. 🙂
So happy to not spend upwards of $6 and more for healthier ingredient mayo! I used avocado and a quarter cup good quality olive oil. Delish! Thanks for a great recipe. I’ve always been freaked out a little about the raw eggs.
We’re so glad you gave it a try and enjoyed it! And we appreciate that it’s a money saver, too! 🙂
This was so easy! I will never buy mayo in the store again. I love that I know it’s made with all healthy ingredients.
I love hearing that Cindy! We agree that making mayo at home is easy and the way to go 🙂
I’ve been intimidated to try making my own Mayo until I saw a video of Justin making this recipe. I made it to go in your chicken artichoke casserole recipe and I’m never going back! This is so easy, and so much better than any bottled Mayo you can buy! Thank you for sharing. You have great content that I’m having fun going through!
I was intimidated to make my own mayo too until I tried it! Glad the video inspired you 🙂
