Learn To Make Homemade Mayonnaise With MCT Oil With Me In Two Minutes!

I personally never like mayo until I made it homemade for my husband who has always loved it! It turns out its not that I don’t like mayo, but that I do not like store bought mayo! In this blog post you will learn how to quickly make my homemade mayonnaise with MCT oil that made me fall in love with this sauce. This recipe is so simple and delicious!

How Much Mayonnaise Does This Recipe Make?

This recipe makes just over one cup of mayonnaise. I find it to be the perfect amount when making recipes because I will always have leftovers that my husband loves to eat!

Is Making Homemade Mayonnaise Safe?

Yes, making homemade mayonnaise can be safe if proper food safety practices are followed. However, it’s important to note that homemade mayonnaise involves raw eggs, which carry a small risk.

Here are a few things to consider:

Acid Component: Homemade mayonnaise recipes typically include an acidic ingredient such as lemon juice or vinegar. The acid can help inhibit bacterial growth. Ensure you add enough acid to create an unfavourable environment for bacteria.

Time Limit: Use homemade mayonnaise within a reasonable time frame, typically within 2 to 3 days. Discard any leftovers beyond that period.

Most of all do your own research so that you are comfortable! I am by no means an expert I am just sharing what my family personally feels comfortable with. So if you have specific concerns or questions about food safety, it’s always a good idea to consult trusted sources such as official government health agencies or food safety websites for more detailed and authoritative information.

Can I Use Regular Coconut Oil?

Because regular coconut oil changes with temperature I would not recommend using it as it will likely turn out chunky. If you are looking for an alternative I would recommend using all olive oil or using avocado oil. It’s also important to note that coconut oil may still have a slight coconut aroma or taste, albeit much milder compared to regular coconut oil. If you prefer a completely plain mayonnaise, you may want to consider using other oils such as light olive oil or avocado oil.

Is Making Homemade MCT Oil Mayo Hard?

Remember, practice makes perfect. Don’t be discouraged if your first attempt isn’t perfect. With time and experience, you’ll develop a better understanding of the process and achieve consistent results.

How Long Does Homemade Mayonnaise Last?

I feel most comfortable using it up within 3 days!

Do I have to Use an Immersion Blender To Make Homemade MCT Oil Mayo?

No, you don’t have to use an immersion blender to make homemade mayo. While an immersion blender can make the process quicker and easier, you can also make mayonnaise successfully using a whisk or a handheld mixer.

If you’re using a whisk, it will require some arm strength and patience to achieve the desired emulsion. Follow the steps mentioned earlier, adding the oil gradually while whisking continuously. It may take a bit more time and effort, but it is definitely doable.

Alternatively, if you have a handheld mixer or a stand mixer, you can use the whisk attachment to make the mayo. This can significantly reduce the effort required and produce good results. Simply beat the egg, lemon juice, vinegar, salt and mustard together until well combined. Then, gradually add the oil while continuing to beat on medium-low speed until the mayo thickens and the oil is fully incorporated.

Remember to always start with a slow drizzle of oil and gradually increase the speed as the emulsion forms. This allows the oil to incorporate smoothly and helps prevent the mayo from breaking.

Simple Ingredients To Make Homemade MCT Oil Mayo

• 1 Large Egg (2 if you would like more protein)
• 1 TBSP Lemon Juice
• 1 TSP Dijon Mustard
• 1 TBSP Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/2 cup MCT Oil 
• 1/2 Cup Olive Oil (Can substitute with avocado oil)
• Salt

Extra Protein Tip!

If you are looking to add more protein into your diet, consider adding an extra egg to this recipe! You do not have to add anything more and it turns out the exact same! I discovered this by accidentally adding two eggs when I got distracted by my daughters and it worked wonderfully!

How To Make Homemade MCT Oil Mayonnaise

1.  In a tall, narrow container or the blending cup that came with your immersion blender, add the egg, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, salt and Dijon mustard. Let them sit for a minute or two to reach room temperature.
2. Then add the MCT Oil and Olive Oil.
3. To blend it is VERY important to keep your immersion blend at the bottom. Start blending on low speed without moving the blender for about 20-30 seconds until the mixture begins to emulsify.
4. The slowly begin to lift the blender up. Continue blending until you’ve reached the desired consistency.
5. Transfer the homemade mayo to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least an hour before using. This chilling time helps the flavours meld together and the mayo to set.
