In case you didn’t know, my family is made up of a bunch of peanut butter fanatics. So on National Peanut Butter Day each year, I drop what I am doing and rush into the kitchen to mix up a batch of this delicious peanut butter syrup. It’s basically sweet peanut butter bliss, I tell ya! Here’s the recipe to show you how easy it is to make and some of the many uses for it. When I say it takes just 1 minute, I mean it.

This very versatile recipe has a simple formula: 1 part peanut butter to 2 parts syrup. The syrup I’m using in this post is honey but you can also use pure maple syrup, Karo syrup (corn syrup), or even pancake syrup in its place. Thick, creamy, sweet, and rich, your pancakes, waffles, or ice cream sundae will never be the same again. Once you try this peanut butter syrup recipe, I just know you’ll make it again and again. It’s the most decadent way to get your peanut butter fix.

But it’s also the perfect way to make scrumptious peanut butter pancakes.

Be sure to try it for breakfast on homemade biscuits, waffles, French toast, or regular toast.

It’s a fantastic warm dessert topping too. Drizzle your peanut butter sauce over a slice of pound cake, cheesecake, bread pudding, brownies, or cookies. If all else fails, just eat it with a spoon!

Store syrup in a jar in the fridge.

Storage

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I like to store mine in a mason jar, as above.

Recipe Notes

I recommend using creamy peanut butter in this recipe. Natural peanut butter and crunchy peanut butter don’t microwave as well, so the syrup consistency won’t be as smooth.

    1. Love it….I do a version of this that isn’t warmed up and have served it with apple slices to my kiddos for years. Never thought about heating it, but we are for sure having pancakes with “PB syrup” for dinner tonight!! 🙂

    2. My Mamma used to make peanut butter & Karo syrup sandwiches a lot of the time instead of peanut butter & jelly. She just didn’t make it quite as thin as the syrup. My grandson will love this on pancakes/ waffles because he loves peanut butter!

        1. Wait. My favorite lunch in school were the peanut butter sandwiches… I to this day had no idea what made them so delicious. Is it seriously just peanut butter and karo? I think I’ll be the happiest woman in the world if this is true. haha. Time to go experiment! 🙂

    3. Thank you for this simple but oh so delectable sweetness to jump start your day. Peanut Butter is hubby’s fave so bet he won’t say “honey you know I don’t eat breakfast” when I put this plate in front of him this weekend!
