Easy Vegan Mayo in 5 Minutes + 3 Flavor Upgrades (5 Minutes, No Eggs)

 


Easy Vegan Mayo in 5 Minutes + 3 Flavor Upgrades 

Total Time: 5 mins | Prep: 5 mins | Cook: 0 mins | Serves: About 1 cup

I love store-bought vegan mayo as much as the next busy mom, but once you make it fresh at home? Game over. This creamy, tangy spread comes together in minutes, no weird ingredients, and it’s so smooth you’ll start putting it on everything. And because I’m extra, I’m giving you three flavor variations so you can match your mayo to your mood.

🛒 Ingredients

Base Vegan Mayo

Chipotle Mayo

Herb-Garlic Mayo

Sriracha Mayo

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Base Vegan Mayo

  1. Layer smart: In a tall jar or measuring cup, add soy milk, oil, vinegar/lemon juice, mustard, salt, and sugar (if using) — in that order.

  2. Blend: Use an immersion blender at the bottom for 15–20 seconds, then slowly lift as it emulsifies.

  3. Taste & tweak: Add more salt or tang if needed.

  4. Store: In a sealed jar in the fridge up to 1 week.

Flavor Variations

  1. Chipotle Mayo: Stir chipotle peppers and lime juice into 1 cup mayo. Great on tacos, burgers, or roasted sweet potatoes.

  2. Herb-Garlic Mayo: Blend roasted garlic and herbs into mayo. Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or as a veggie dip.

  3. Sriracha Mayo: Mix sriracha and rice vinegar into mayo. Killer with sushi rolls, grain bowls, or fries.

🧠 Mom Tips

  • 🥛 Why soy milk works best: The protein helps emulsify — other milks may make it runny.

  • 🧄 Make it fancy: Roasted garlic + fresh herbs = instant aioli vibes.

  • 🥶 It thickens as it chills: Give it a couple hours in the fridge before judging texture.

  • 🌶 Heat levels: Always taste your chipotle and sriracha batches before adding more — spice sneaks up!

🥣 Why I Love It

Mayo is one of those things you don’t think about until you make it fresh — then suddenly it’s the star of the show. I love having the base recipe in my back pocket and the flavor twists ready to go so I can upgrade a basic sandwich or turn plain veggies into a party snack.
