Vegan mayonnaise with aquafaba

“Currently, many of us use canned chickpeas for various dishes. The recipes usually start by draining the chickpeas, but you shouldn't discard the liquid from the can. The so-called "aquafaba" can be used for many recipes itself! It's high in protein, can be whipped just like egg whites, and serves as an emulsifier, for example in homemade vegan mayonnaise. This is kind of a basic recipe, that I like to refine with some grated garlic sometimes. #stayhomekeepcooking”

  • Step 3/3

    While continuing to blend the mixture, add vegetable oil little by little. The volume of the mayonnaise should increase, the mixture also gets brighter and creamier. Keep blending until you reached the desired consistency. Depending on how much aquafaba you used in the beginning, you might need more or less vegetable oil for your vegan mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stored in an airtight container or mason jar in the fridge, the vegan mayonnaise will keep well for approx. 1-2 weeks.
