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.

OK…I’ll admit that I didn’t take the time to read all of the comments for this post, but just in case anyone is wondering… Yup! You sure CAN use sugar free pancake syrup in this recipe and it works great! Oh, and I don’t care how many ads they put on your blog, Christy! It will NEVER keep me from tuning into your wonderful stories and yummy recipes!! I’ve just let myself get real good at ignoring them! 😉 Too bad some folks haven’t learned the lesson, “If you can’t say anything nice…”
Christy, just wanted to take a minute to let you know that our entire family enjoyed this peanut butter syrup this morning on homemade pancakes. Who would’ve “thunk”?? Peanut butter and honey, two of my favorite things – yum! Thanks for the recipe and all that you do! We appreciate it!
I love peanut butter on my pancakes I have been eating them with peanut butter for many years they are just so divine with pb it takes the pancake to a whole other level. My husband loves pb he eats it every day . When I was a kid my grandmother used to make me pb and honey sandwiches yummy..My husband tells me that if we run out of pb he will divorce me it is a running joke in our household so I keep at least 3 big jars of it in the panty. My son cooks so I told him about your website I told him that you have some great recipes so he is eager to try some out. Thanks for your great recipes. Keep up the great work.
Alrighty then….! We all have to have money to make it in this world. If you can make some money by putting ads on your site, that is fine by me. You are doing a great job. I love reading your posts and trying your recipes. I can’t wait for your new cookbook.!!
Just an ol’ Southern girl,

Christy, I’m unsubscribing today. I’ve enjoyed your blog and recipes for a few months now, but the commercial aspect of your blog has grown so much that all I see are advertisements when I click on it, so it’s time for me to leave. I loved the down-home feel of your blog when I found it, but now it’s just a venue to sell products. We gave up TV for the same reason. I wish you all the luck and all the money you want to make.
Kat, I think you’re missing the point here. It is FREE for you to come to this site to take advantage of the FREE recipes. However, for someone running a blog that gets, what is sure to be, hundreds of thousands of visitors each day, it isn’t free. There’s the cost to host a site like this, the cost of an email subscriber service, cost of food, etc. Besides all that, what is really the point in being so negative? If you don’t like it, don’t come back. There’s no need to be rude. Didn’t your mama teach any better?
Kat, you are really rude! If you dont like her blog then just unsubcribe and be done with it. Everyone needs an income to make it in the world. I’m a nurse and although I love my job and my patients, I work to make money, pay my bills, and enjoy some things in life when I’m not working. I’m just blessed that I get to do what I love for a living. The fact that you have to leave a “nasty-gram” just proves you have no manners or class! Good luck to you too–you’re gonna need it!
This is a lovely blog! Honestly, I can’t stand people who give up stuff for the ‘commercial aspect’. I mean, really? You’re using the internet but don’t like commercial aspect? Lol, gimme a break.
Btw, loooooove the sauce and pics!
Oh my goodness, Christy! I just got goosebumps when I saw this post on FB! I haven’t thought of this since I was a little kid! We used syrup and dipped our toast in it! Thanks for reminding me of this great childhood memory!
I am so glad it brought back such good memories!! Hope you enjoy!

Christie,
I have many fond memories of a similar concoction. Our version was handed down from my mother’s side of the family. They mixed equal parts of butter (or margarine) with peanut butter (creamy or chunky). Using a fork to mix it thoroughly, then enough syrup ( maple or corn syrup, or honey, even molases) to make a gravy like mix. Then (here’s the best part) split hot biscuits and drop face down in the mix. The hot biscuits soak up the mixture, melting the butter. Eat with a fork.
YUMMY! BTW. is there a name for this dish? We just called it “Glop”!
I’ve loved reading about how many people’s dad’s or grandpa’s taught them to love this. Aren’t families wonderful?
They sure are Patti!!
