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.

This is great with Yellow Label syrup. I cant find it here in TX but we loved it when I was a kid in AL.
Thanks for the tip Charlotte!!
mmmmmmmmm, mixed mine with molasses…….and not that awful blackstrap stuff you get in most supermarkets. find a light colored version and you must be able to eat it strait from the jar.
gonna also try the fudge idea using PB and vanilla frosting.
I love molasses!
I’ll bet it would be great over oatmeal too! Going to find out tomorrow morning! 🙂
I can’t wait to hear what you think about it on oatmeal, let me know after you try it Sharon.
We’ve now had it on baked oatmeal and on top of biscuits (your buttermilk biscuit recipe, by the way). My peanut butter fanatics LOVED it over the oatmeal. And it was super delicious over biscuits this morning. My son decided to put syrup on one half the biscuit and jelly on the other and turn it into a PBJ Biscuit! LOVE this recipe. Definitely going into my binder of Family Favorites Recipes..
I LOVE peanut butter and put it on my pancakes whenever I can along with sugar cane syrup. I’ve mixed the two put never thought to melt the peanut butter into the syrup. I will be trying this this weekend and will have to pass it on to my niece who takes after me and her granddad and puts PB on pancakes.
I hope you enjoy it Laura!!
Christy, My best friend has always put peanut butter on her pancakes then syrup her whole life, and I have actually made fun of her, but she knows I am just picking with her although I never thought I would it on my pancakes it looks like I am going to have to apologize..and try it. But what I was going to say is I buy Fry’s brand (Kroger) Peanut Butter with Honey and I love it so wouldn’t it work to just pop it in the microwave?
I have never tried that brand so I am not sure how it tastes or what the ratio is but you could certainly try it!
Just pinned this! We are huge fans of The Pancake Pantry in Gatlinburg and they have the best peanut butter syrup on M&M Pancakes. I bet this will taste just like theirs!
I hope you get to try it soon and enjoy it Sandra!!
Update … Tried this morning on chocolate chip pancakes. Got a thumbs up from the teenager in the house which of course, is the ultimate test! Delicious!
I’ve been doing this my whole life, my dad taught me! I love using Steens pure cane syrup. It’s good with any bread. Love to mix it up in the plate, then sop it up, even with light bread!
Sounds like your Daddy is a smart man Mike!!
