Vegan (Egg Free) Mayonnaise
Not a poor substitute.
This vegan mayo is genuinely so lovely, it doesn’t feel like a boring substitute for regular mayo at all - I’m so pleased with it! It’s really easy to make and lasts a long time. I hope you love it too!
Vegan Mayonnaise
Makes 1 small bottle/jar
Time: 10 minutes
1/2 cup of aquafaba (chickpea water)
1 tbsp maple syrup or brown rice syrup
1 tbsp of mustard (choose how big a tablespoon depending on your preference!)
1 1/2 cups of oil (neutrally flavoured olive oil is the best option, canola or avocado oil work too - or sunflower)
1 tbsp white vinegar
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar (if you don’t have this, just do 2 tbsp of regular vinegar)
a pinch of salt and pepper
You also need:
Immersion blender
Instructions
In a medium sized bowl, add the aquafaba, mustard and syrup. Mix together for about 20 seconds. As you continue to mix, add in a tiny bit of the oil at a time - be really patient and make sure the mix is thickening before you add more. If you add the oil too quickly it’s really hard to salvage the texture afterwards. Add seasoning and vinegar towards the end. Move the immersion blender up and down to incorporate air to thicken the mix.
Store in a clean jar or bottle in the fridge!
