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!

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.

My Grandma made something similar when we were kids. “Peanut Butter Surprise”
She used light corn syrup and spread it on white bread. One of my favorite desserts as a child!
I remember that when I was young…we use to dunk our bread in a bowl of corn syrup was my favorite as a child as well
Maybe I’m missing something, but if you mix 2 shelf stable items together, why would they need to be refrigerated?
Christy, I didn’t read all the comments, so this could be here already!
Have you made this syrup using crunchy peanut butter?! Oh my, it will change your life! You’ve got to try it!
Love your work! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so gonna have PB banana waffles this week! YUMMY!
I sometimes microwave peanut butter and pour over vanilla ice cream, then add Hershey’s chocolate syrup. So good!
My momma grew up on this, but they just made it in a plate and sopped it up with bread. For me, it is a nice snack when I’m hungry for something sweet and don’t want to bake something. I like it with a slice of American cheese too. I never thought of heating it and using it as syrup. My pancakes always get peanut butter and maple syrup, so why not? Thanks!
This was really good!
I made this for our pancake breakfast today and used table syrup. I found that I had to add about 1/4 cup more syrup because as it cooled it got too thick to pour properly on the pancakes.
Hubby thought it was good but said he would rather smear his pancakes with peanut butter and then pour the syrup. Whatever. Party pooper.
Next time I am making it for ME for my ice cream. None for him! 🙂
I am 73 yrs old and have eaten peanut butter on pancakes all my life. My Dad in the 1940s made homemade ice cream and in the mixer put peanut butter in it. I did it until my kids left home, not grandkids close so for some reason I just don’t make it anymore. But anything you do with peanut butter is good!
