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.

I’ve been eating this since I was a kid, only we made it with Karo corn syrup. Who needs to pour it on anything…just eat it with a spoon. My hubby thinks this is crazy but my family has been eating it for years!
By the way, my sister and I ran a B & B for a number of years in Milledgeville, GA called The Antebellum Inn. In the fall I picked up pecans in the yard, shelled them and made Sour Cream Pecan Pancakes. So good. The clincher was the topping. No syrup. I took the remainder of the sour cream and mixed it with brown sugar (to taste) and put it on the table. One morning two ladies just couldn’t imagine putting that on pancakes. I served them warm syrup, but when I went back to check on them, the sour cream bowl was empty!!! Too funny!
That sounds wonderful Dianne!!!
My grandparents used to make something similar to this and use it as cake icing. <3
You took me back in time! I haven’t thought of this in years. My grandmother, who is 20 years gone, was a cafeteria lady!! She was the most amazing country cook.
Her last name was Sapp and we always called her Mama Sapp. There are a number of recipes we just call Mama Sapp corn, or butterbeans, whatever. She is so missed and always will be.
What about drizzled over popcorn? I might just try that right now. Thanks!
I laughed when I saw this recipe! My father passed away 28 years ago , but while he was alive, he always mixed peanut butter with honey or syrup-whichever we had on hand & had it over biscuits or bread! Wow, this really brought back memories, and of course, I’ve followed in his footsteps!
this is a great idea. I’ve always loved peanut butter mixed with syrup on crackers but we called it “mixed peanut butter” This would be so much easier than spreading peanut butter on my pancakes.
