    Homemade mayonnaise on Keto is a great way to get your healthy fats without the worry of preservatives you find in store bought brands. If you'll give this Keto mayonnaise recipe a try, you will never use anything else!

    What's in Homemade Keto Mayonnaise

    • Light olive oil
    • Egg
    • Fresh lemon juice
    • White wine vinegar
    • Dijon mustard
    • Salt

    *Exact measurements are listed in the recipe card below.

    How to Make Your Own Keto Mayonnaise

    For making homemade low carb mayo, you'll start by adding fresh eggs along with all the other ingredients to the tall cup that comes with an immersion blender.

    With the regular blade attached, place the blender on the bottom and pulse until you see it start to thicken.

    Then, with the blender still running, gently raise it up and down to thoroughly mix the mayo until well emulsified.

    After it has reached the consistency you prefer, taste it to see if you want more salt. If so, add a little in small increments until you get the desired amount that taste right to you.

    Place in an airtight jar and store in the fridge for up to a week.

    If you're at all concerned about using raw eggs, you can use pasteurized eggs.  While the risk of  illness from eating raw eggs is low, children, the elderly, pregnant women and anyone who has a weakened immune system should avoid eating raw eggs, so please use pasteurized instead.

    Substitutions to Consider

    • If you don't have an immersion blender, you can use a hand mixer, food processor or a whisk instead.  Just be sure to slowly stream the oil in as you are mixing.
    • You can also use avocado oil instead of light oil, but I would recommend a non-extra virgin avocado oil, otherwise your mayonnaise will turn a pale green color.
    • If you don't have fresh lemon juice, you can use all white wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead.

    Are There Carbs in Mayonnaise?

    There's only a trace amount of carbs per serving in this homemade Keto mayo. Store bought brands usually have additional carbs from added sugar. Just another great reason to make your own!

    Is Mayo Keto Friendly?

    Absolutely! In fact, mayonnaise is the top condiment on Keto and low carb diets. And, because it has almost no carbs and is high in fat, it makes an excellent choice for many keto recipes.

      This recipe is amazing. So easy, and tastes great. It’s better then any store bought mayo I have ever tasted. I mixed it on high speed with my immersion mixer and it was done so fast. My husband doesn’t eat keto like I do, but he loves the taste of this homemade mayo. Thank you for posting this recipe.

          Typically, homemade mayo is watery because it hasn't been blended enough to enable the emulsifier to do its job. Maybe try blending it a little longer next time...that should help.

      Can you use an extra virgin light olive oil? I thought for health benefits the extra virgin was better for you

        I'm not sure how you made it, but you definitely have to stream the oil in very slowly if you don't use the immersion blender method like in my video.

          Mine came out very liquidity. I was so disappointed. I used a blender like yours. I was so so disappointed 😔

          I am so sorry to hear that. Even though this is a really easy recipe, adding the oil too quickly or if you add too much oil, the mayo will break and won't thicken up. I hope you will try it again.

      Not sure what I did wrong because I tried this recipe 3 different ways and it just did not work so I'm going to do it by hand amdand add the oil very slowly. Also, how do you reckon this would be with normal mustard instead of Dijon?

        Hmm, I'm not sure either. It works perfectly for me every time and I always use the immersion blender just like in the video. Personally I prefer using dijon, but I've never tried with any other mustard.

          immersion blender is huge time saver, I don't tend to use ready made mustards and like that I can adjust strength of taste using pure mustard powder instead.

      Thank you for your great website! Can you please give me an idea of what a serving size is. 1 tsp, 1 Tbsp or 2. I really don't want to divide a semi-liquid up into 16 serving. I know my 6 yr would have fun doing it but my kitchen may never be the same.

        Hi Patti,
        This recipes makes a little more than a cup of mayonnaise, so one serving is just over a tablespoon each. I hope that helps and thanks for your kind words!
