This 5 minute mayo is the bomb. Giving you all the healthy goodness of raw olive oil, Grape-seed oil and MCT oil it packs a healthy punch that store-bought mayonnaise just can’t touch!
This was one of those mad scientist in the kitchen moments for me. I tried making the Body Burn Mayo from the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook, only to have the recipe fail on me.
(Don’t worry I used it on a Cauliflower Bomb with one of my Homemade Ranch Seasoning Packets… Can you say YUMMM!) I’m not sure what I did wrong for the recipe to fail, but will try it again soon.
I ran out of olive oil as well as grape-seed oil so I added a bit of MCT oil to this as it was the only other liquid oil I had on hand. The nice thing about mixing up the oils this way is that it’s a bit more budget friendly than using a whole cup of MCT oil or even 1/2 a cup. I highly recommend MCT oil as part of your Trim Healthy Mama journey or even if you don’t follow THM. It has some pretty amazing health benefits and makes for a great Trimmy or Bulletproof coffee. I’d really appreciate if you would consider purchasing it through my affiliate link.
Some really great things about making homemade condiments is that they aren’t packed full of fillers and preservatives, so they are better for you and you have more control over what is going into your body.
This 5 minute mayo is a godsend when we are out camping in that it makes a small amount that we can use in the few days we are out and about. It doesn’t take up space and I normally have everything with me to whip it up in a jiffy.
I love using my Stick Blender like this one and a Mason Jar to mix it in, less mess to clean up that way, I can mix and store it in the same jar if needed.
My Grandma taught me to make mayo when I was about 9 or 10; it’s the one condiment that I really love, the rich creaminess… My husband thinks I’m weird because I dip my green fries (THM Cookbook page: 218 ) in it, put it on or in my burgers, meatloaf and use it mixed with Greek Yogurt to coat chicken with my Mama’s Bake and Fry Mix.

Thank you so much! I tried making the fat burning mayo in the book and was just getting a watery substance that wasn’t looking any better even after being in the fridge for quite some time. I almost cried at the thought of wasting 1/2 cup MCT oil. Then I googled thm mayo flops and your site came up! I used the immersion blender and put some of the egg whites back in that I had separated out for that recipe as it calls for egg yolks and voila! The substance changed before my eyes! Next batch will be completely the ingredients your recipe calls for but you helped me save some expensive ingredients! Thank you!

I’m so very glad that you were able to save those ingredients!! thank you so much for stopping by.

How long does it last
Judy says
I would say about 1 week
Cory Sinklier says
I tried with blender and food processor and it never solidified. I’m am equally frustrated at the possibility of wasting that much mct oil and olive oil.
Judy says
I only ever use my immersion blender and it always works for me.

Something I found when making my mayo with immersion blender is that you have to start out just pulsing until it starts to go together. If you start full force it falls apart. So, just pulse first 5-6 times and then you can go full speed. I love using Avocado oil in mine with a little ACV, squirt of mustard and pinch of salt.

Mine is not solidifying and I’ve been beating it for quite some time . I have a new beater and it is pretty powerful.
I am using it for your mayo cake recipe and can I still use it if it’s not solid?
Judy says
I am stumped, I have never had that problem. I am sorry no it will not work unless it emulsifies
Nicole says
It worked. I used a medium sized egg…. all I had, 1/2 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup of xct oil, pulsed rather than blended and it worked. Thank you. I’ve had several failed attempts to make homemade mayo before this.
Cindy says
Could I use avocado and olive oil in equal parts?
Also, does it have an ‘olive-y’ taste? How does that work for sweet things? 😊
