Best Keto Mayonnaise | No Sugar & Low Carb – Mad Creations
Before jumping to the recipe please note that the below information contains HOT TIPS for this recipe. We try and answer all your questions to guarantee a perfect keto recipe every time.
Our Easy Keto Mayonnaise is the only keto mayonnaise recipe that you need!
Mayonnaise is one of the staple keto condiments for me now, and I love that I know exactly what has gone into it. This easy recipe, and the flavour variations, makes the best low carb mayonnaise and I’m sure you’ll agree!
Coming from someone who used to hate mayonnaise I am a total convert now and love this recipe. Most mayonnaise recipes are naturally keto as they should basically contain eggs, oil and acid (in the form of vinegar or lemon juice). Sadly, and I have no idea why, many get sweeteners added plus, for the store bought variety, a host of additives we don’t need.
Making easy, no sugar mayonnaise is just that, easy! It is cheap and tastes so much better. So read below for some extra tips to have a no-fail mayonnaise every time. I have even added a keto Thermomix® mayonnaise recipe for all our thermo lovers too.
Why We Love This Recipe
No sugar! Mayonnaise that is commercially produced usually has sugar added to it, along with lots of other additives; and you don’t need any of that!
Quick and easy – this recipe takes hardly any time to make, so you can make fresh keto mayonnaise with whatever flavour variation you choose.
Keeps for a few days – it is safe to store the keto mayonnaise in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 or 5 days.
The Ingredients
As I already mentioned, a mayonnaise is just eggs, oil and acid in its most basic form.
I used to think it was terrible that mayonnaise contained so much oil. Now I realise this is good for us.
Read on for the instructions for how to make keto mayonnaise.
Hot Tips & FAQs
Does it matter what oil I use?
Oil choice is very important in making a mayonnaise. You want to choose oils that are not strong in flavour. The light tasting olive oil is not the same as virgin or extra virgin. It has more of a neutral flavour and wont dominate the mayonnaise. Extra virgin olive oil is not recommended.
Why is it important to add the oil slowly?
Whether making mayonnaise with a whisk, stick blender or Thermomix® the trick is to add the oil in a slow steady stream to slowly emulsify the mayonnaise. If you add it too fast, it doesn’t come together properly. As you are whisking or blending the egg mix, the slow stream of oil will slowly help to form a thick delicious consistency.
Is it possible to fix a split mayonnaise?
Sometimes you may end up with a split mayonnaise. Don’t worry, you can save it very simply. In a separate bowl, add an egg yolk. Slowly add your split mayonnaise to the egg yolk while whisking. This will bring the mayonnaise back from “the dead” and give you the rich thick mayo you want.
What flavoured keto mayonnaise can you make using this base recipe?
I love the addition of Dijon mustard (or any mild mustard) and a good seasoning to my recipe.
A few other low carb mayonnaise variations: Chipotle mayonnaise recipes are pretty popular at the moment and the chipotles in adobo can be found in most supermarkets these days. A keto garlic aioli is also a pretty great recipe to have on hand. You can also use roasted garlic or black garlic for some more interesting flavours.

Homemade mayo is AMAZING! I’m inspired by your flavor modifications. I think I’ll try chipotle first 😉
It is sooo good Jessica.
I’ve never made homemade mayonnaise before but this sounds just delicious! Love the idea and it sounds so simple.
It totally is very simple Danielle. You have to try it and taste the difference.
Keto recipes are becoming huge and it’s really nice to see that there are homemade condiments we can not incorporate into the Keto meals. I really appreciate this sound recipe! Totally tasted on point and my family enjoyed the Keto mayo.
Yay! That is awesome Heidy.
Nothing beats homemade mayo when you can control the ingredients! Love this!
I totally agree Lisa.
That’s an awesome find before holiday season! I need to try it for the salads, ecause I don’t like all the additives in the commercial mayonnaise. Thanks for sharing!
It is so much better when you know what is in your condiments Alina
Delicious and so quick and easy – thanks for the recipe Megan 👏😀
No problem thanks for reviewing Dianne.
This is delicious & so good for my grandson who has IBS!
No hidden nasties. He hasn’t had mayo for so long so almost jumped over the moon.
Thankyou megan
This is the best mayonnaise ever, and so simple to make
Thanks Renee. It is great to hear that you are enjoying it.
So simple I love it!
Me too!
Help! I just made this using avocado oil and it has a really strong oily taste. It is also yellow not white . How can I fix it . The oil was expensive so I don’t want to chuck it out . I made it using the Thermomix method
Avocado oil is of course going to affect the colour of the mayonnaise. As for the flavour is your avocado oil a “mild taste” one. It should state it on the label. Any oils used for mayonnaise should always be a mild taste or neutral oil as specified in the recipe. In saying that avocado oil mayonnaise will definitely be more robust in flavour than a light tasting oil. To make it less “oily” in flavour you can add more acid or combine it with some sour cream to dilute as you use it.
