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.

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.

What a jewel I found when I found your site. So many good recipes and I like to cook and eat. I had to write today since I thought peanut butter and pancakes were an amazing Family Tradition. As people tried it they loved it and we took credit for “inventing” the idea.
I look forward every day to the email and I noticed that you have archives. Thank you for being so free to share your recipes. I also enjoy the entire conversation.
Christy, I’ve tried this before, and fyi I used Golden Eagle Syrup from right there in the great state of Alabama, my Home State. It is the best syrup I’ve ever had,
it looks like honey in the jar, taste wonderful, once you’ve tried it you’ll be asking your grocer to put it on the shelves.We have trouble finding it here in Arkansas, some times it will be in a Walmart. Thanks.
I think Lincoln once said “You can’t please all the people all the time…” Well, Christy, keep up the GOOD work. I’ll admit I don’t mind the few ads you have. Viva capitalism!
I make this but I use Golden Eagle or Yellow Label Syrup. We put it on toast. My kids love it!!!
I love pb on waffles w/syrup …. and love pb and syrup sammies, so why in the world I never thought to do this . Thanks for the great idea 🙂
