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.

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.

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?
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.
Yes, Sabrina, Crafts was the white syrup we used also ! What memories !!!
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? https://www.southernplate.com/2011/09/peanut-butter-no-bake-cookie-bites.html
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.
I use it in my oat meal with fruit, Cinnamon not instant oat meal either.
