1 Minute Peanut Butter Syrup
It’s National Peanut Butter Day! My family is made up of a bunch of peanut butter fanatics so when I realized what day it was I dropped what I was doing and rushed into the kitchen to mix up a batch of this delicious syrup so to show you how easy it is to make and some of the many uses for 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 maple syrup, karo syrup or even pancake syrup in it’s place.
Ready? Lets get started! Don’t blink because you’ll miss it if you do 
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, stir. Heat thirty seconds more and stir until smooth and creamy.
You’re done!
This is excellent over ice cream…
But it’s also amazing over pancakes.
Be sure and try it on biscuits, waffles, french toast, regular toast, and if all else fails, just eat it with a spoon!
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge.
This is a peanut butter lover’s heaven!
Surprise your family tonight with this delicious treat!

- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

We’ve done this for years, just mix a little peanut butter and syrup on plate and spread on hot biscuits!
I think this just might be the eighth wonder of the world, don’t you?
I would but that just looks like too much trouble to make… KIDDING! lol
I think dad would Luuuuuuve that on his morning pancakes. I mean every morning too.. lol
Thank ya kindly maam!
LOL! Bill, you had me for a second. I thought “WHAT?” lol. Love ya Brother Bill!
Gratefully,
Christy
Thank you for this simple but oh so delectable sweetness to jump start your day. Peanut Butter is hubby’s fave so bet he won’t say “honey you know I don’t eat breakfast” when I put this plate in front of him this weekend!
My Mamma used to make peanut butter & Karo syrup sandwiches a lot of the time instead of peanut butter & jelly. She just didn’t make it quite as thin as the syrup. My grandson will love this on pancakes/ waffles because he loves peanut butter!
Sandra we made these sandwiches, too. They also served them in our school lunchroom when I was a kid.
Wait. My favorite lunch in school were the peanut butter sandwiches… I to this day had no idea what made them so delicious. Is it seriously just peanut butter and karo? I think I’ll be the happiest woman in the world if this is true. haha. Time to go experiment!
My husband will LOVE this! Might save it for a Valentine’s surprise…
Love it….I do a version of this that isn’t warmed up and have served it with apple slices to my kiddos for years. Never thought about heating it, but we are for sure having pancakes with “PB syrup” for dinner tonight!!
Oh no…I would just eat it with a spoon. I should not have clicked the recipe link.
My mom likes this as peanut butter ice creaming topping. Thanks. Also, add enough Rice Krispies to spread thin in a pan. Chill. Cut into squares and put a thin layer of ice cream between two squares. Yum…
I will try this today!! Hadn’t thought to use honey with the PB.
I’ve been making a similar concoction since I was a kid, tho without the microwave. I mix butter, peanut butter and light corn syrup and stir it all up and eat it on toast, pancakes, etc.
Quit walking around in my head! My mom used to make this over 50 years ago. I haven’t known of anyone else who made this outside of my little West Virginia home town.
My mom made this many years ago but she added some cocoa and it was chocolate and peanut butter flavor and we put it over ice cream. I tried to recreate it not long ago and it was a mess. thank you for the ratio. I will try again. ps I made Jordan rolls last night. they were great.thanks Christy!
I was trying to think of something this morning to put over a chocolate cake before I topped it with some whipped cream, cream cheese frosting. I knew as soon as I saw the email, this was it!!! I put the syrup and peanut butter in a pan on the stove over low heat and added some chocolate chips, then stirred like crazy til the chocolate was all melted, then poured it over the cake and poked some holes in the top.
Oh, boy!!! Thank you, Christy!!!
My daddy used to mix sorghum molasses with peanut butter and put it on biscuits or any type bread… wasn’t something I liked as a kid, but I bet I would like peanut butter and honey!
When we were growing up, my mom would put a tbsp or two of peanut butter in the middle of a dinner plate and drizzle some syrup over it. We “smush” it together with our fork. Then, we’d break toast into pieces and put it around the plate in a circle. We’d spear a piece of toast with our fork and dip it in the syrup. Yum!! Occasionally, we’d use biscuits, but the usual quick morning recipe used toast. I think I’ll have that for supper tonight!!
My PMS problems have been solved! I love peanut butter on ice cream!!!
My dad used to be “in charge” of us on Sunday mornings before we went to church, and it was a steady rotation of pancakes shaped like famous golf courses of the world, and biscuits with THIS peanut butter “sauce” (as he called it) on them! Yummy syrup makes for yummy memories!!! Thanks, Christy!!
This looks great.
I use condensed milk with peanut butter. It is really yummy too.
Oh my word! I will definitely be making this! I eat an apple and peanut butter just about every day and I bet this would be good with the apple (or anything for that matter!).
Had this as a kid with king syrup but like the others we would just mix it together on our plate. Taught my granddaughter how to do it on pancakes! Now we have one pancake with an over easy egg on top and then one with the peanut butter and syrup. I’ve had to cut back on peanut butter though because it is one of my migraine triggers if I eat more that an teaspoon or so. And I thought just us country folk here in Virginia ate this!
oh girl – People act like I’m crazy when i talk about peanut butter ‘n syrup. We always had white Crafts (not Kraft) syrup from the old country store at Mt Rozell (which is near Lester, which is near Salem, which is NW of Athens for all you unfamiliar folks). Just a fork full of peanut butter, pour syrup over it, mix it up on your plate and put a biscuit in it. Oh man, one of the best things my daddy taught me! Makes my mouth water just thinking of it. I still get up from the breakfast table now & then to pull some out of the pantry. Of course, now its Karo syrup. BTW, Mt Rozell isnt too far from Cairo, AL!
I did this in college when the cafeteria food was…well, let’s say not very appetizing. Great on apples, bananas, whole wheat bread, etc. Loved it!
I use it in my oat meal with fruit, Cinnamon not instant oat meal either.
Our favorite use of this peanut butter syrup is on French toast. Mmmm…. As a kid, Blackburn syrup was a staple and favored syrup in our home.
Kristy, My mother would make some of the best peanut butter candy. As i remember she used water,sugar this would boil until thick, then added peanut butter. But cant remember the amount of each ing. If anyone has ever made this sure would like to know. How could i forget something so simple, yet so yummmmmmy!
Was it something like this? http://www.southernplate.com/2011/09/peanut-butter-no-bake-cookie-bites.html
Yes, Sabrina, Crafts was the white syrup we used also ! What memories !!!
COULD YOU DO YOUR READERS A FAVOR AND PUT YOU JOIN SIGNS LIKE FACEBOOK, TWITTER ETC IN A LINE ACROSS THE BOTTOM INSTEAD UP AND DOWN? EVERYTIME I WANT TO COPY A RECIPE I WASTE A PAGE OF PAPER PLUS COLOR AND B&W INK TO PRINT THAT LIST ON EVERY RECIPE AND I COPY A LOT OF YOUR RECIPES!!!! THANKS SO MUCH
Hey Julie, I would if I could. I’m terribly sorry for the frustration but it will require hiring a web designer and spending enough to pay off my car in order to make that happen. I prefer to keep Southern Plate free to the readers and so far have been able to pay the light bill based on stock ads I run on the site (SouthernPlate.com costs over twice our mortgage payment each month). I really appreciate your understanding and will certainly make as many improvements in the future as my budget will possibly allow.
Gratefully,
Christy
have you tried to copy and paste the text onto a word document and print that
Another option would be to select print options and only print the pages that you need. For example, if the bar is page 3, then you only need to print pages 1-2.
PS – All caps in a message is “yelling”, I doubt that you are that upset right!
I just copy and paste the recipe in my drafts folder. so easy and I don’t have to print it if I don’t want to. It’s always in my draft folder. Hope this helps.
Hey Christy! This sounds fabulous and we will be making some to put over ice cream tonight for dessert! When I told my husband about the recipe as we were eating lunch he said that he would use 2 parts Hershey’s syrup to 1 part Peanut Butter. Have you ever tried that? Would heating it ruin the chocolate/burn the syrup?
I just wanted to let you know that I made a small amount of this recipe to see how it would work with Sugar Free IHOP pancake syrup. I used 2 tablespoons sugar free syrup and 1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter. Oh my word, delicious. This stuff could be dangerous for us diabetics. I like peanut butter and butter on toast or an English muffin with a cup tea for breakfast. I am trying my peanut butter syrup on my English muffin in the morning, if I can wait that long.
My Dad always loved something sweet after our meals. If my Mother didn’t have anything, he mixed peanut butter and syrup together and ate it. Yummy.
I want to make this peanut butter syrup for my granddaughters for pancakes when they come next time. MMMMM. Thanks for sharing, Christy.

As kids, we used to “sop” peanut butter and syrup with biscuits for dessert. Sometimes we would have syrup and cream or syrup and butter. Just pour some syrup in a plate and add a dollop of either, stir to combine and “sop”!
By the way, Christy, do you use honey, Karo or maple syrup in your peanut butter syrup?
Here is another super quick peanut butter recipe.
Peanut Butter Fudge. 1 jar 18oz peanut butter can use smooth or crunchy. 1 can vanilla frosting. Place both in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Mix well and pour in 8 x 8 pan and refridgate for 20 minutes. Cut and serve.
We did this growning up and used it for dipping “fritters” (the equivalent of fried pancake batter!) I love this soooo much!
We pour this over a bag of microwave popcorn. Awesome!!!
This brings back memories! As a child, my father would mix the syrup and peanut butter together and eat it with bread. Great idea to heat and serve over pancakes. Thanks Christy.
I’ve been doing peanut butter and syrup on my pancakes for years, but it never occurred to me to make a peanut butter syrup. This is so clever, I especially love it for pouring over ice cream!
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.
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!
What about drizzled over popcorn? I might just try that right now. Thanks!
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.
My grandparents used to make something similar to this and use it as cake icing. <3
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!!!
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!
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!!
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!
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!
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!!
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..
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!
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!!
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!!
