About Eggless Mayonnaise

Eggless Mayonnaise is a quick and easy homemade spread made with milk and corn flour as the base. It's thickened by simmering the mixture until it turns creamy, then flavored with simple spices and whisked until smooth. The taste is creamy and mild with a gentle tang, making it perfect for a variety of dishes.

This is not only cheap when compared to store bought jars of mayo and the benefit of making things homemade is that we know what goes into the making. This recipe can be easily customized according to your taste preference. You can adjust the seasonings to suit your taste.

You can make it a bit spicy with more pepper or tangier with extra vinegar. As it's eggless, it's also safe for kids or those with egg allergies. It's a great option for vegetarian. Mustard sauce is a must in mayonnaise , I replaced it with mustard powder and added it. You can even use store bought mustard sauce if you have it.

I usually make this when I need a small batch of mayo for sandwiches or quick chats at home. The best part is, it's always fresh, and I know exactly what's going into it. No preservatives, no chemicals, just simple, clean ingredients from the kitchen shelf.

Eggless Mayonnaise Ingredients

Corn flour - gives the mayonnaise a rich, creamy texture.
Milk - This adds creaminess and helps cook the corn flour into a smooth sauce. You can use full-fat milk or cream for better results.
Olive oil - helps emulsify the mayo. You can use any neutral oil like sunflower or canola if you don't have olive oil.
White vinegar - This gives a gentle tang. You can replace it with lemon juice for a slightly different flavor.
Sugar - It balances the tang and salt, and adds a mild sweetness.
Mustard seeds - I have used crushed mustard seeds for a mild sharpness. It is the key for giving mayonnaise its classic flavor. You can also use yellow mustard powder or mustard sauce.
Black pepper powder - Adds a tiny bit of spice and enhances the overall taste. Use freshly ground for better flavor. You can also use red chili flakes for this.
