Created using a simple formula, this 1-minute peanut butter syrup is perfectly nutty and sweet. This versatile recipe is only limited by your imagination.
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.
Some other delicious dessert sauces you might like to try include dulce de leche for caramel lovers, Mama’s custard sauce, and my pecan praline sauce.
Ready? Let’s get started! Don’t blink because you’ll miss it if you do :).
Recipe Ingredients
- Creamy peanut butter
- Honey (or syrup of your choice)
How to Make Peanut Butter Syrup in 1 Minute
Place peanut butter and honey (or whatever syrup you’re using) in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup.
Heat for 30 seconds in your microwave, then stir. Heat for 30 seconds more and stir until smooth and creamy.
That’s it, you’re done! Enjoy your peanut butter syrup!
Serving Suggestions
This is excellent served over vanilla ice cream…
But it’s also the perfect way to make scrumptious 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!
This 1-minute peanut butter syrup is a peanut butter lover’s heaven!
Surprise your family tonight with this delicious treat!
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.

Oh no…I would just eat it with a spoon. I should not have clicked the recipe link.
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!! 🙂
My husband will LOVE this! Might save it for a Valentine’s surprise…
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!
Sandra we made these sandwiches, too. They also served them in our school lunchroom when I was a kid.
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! 🙂
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!

We’ve done this for years, just mix a little peanut butter and syrup on plate and spread on hot biscuits!
I think this just might be the eighth wonder of the world, don’t you?
