common recipe questions


What is peanut butter maple syrup?

Peanut butter maple syrup is a sweet and creamy topping made by combining maple syrup and peanut butter. It is delicious on pancakes, waffles, or even yogurt.

Can I use creamy or crunchy peanut butter?

You can use either creamy or crunchy peanut butter, but creamy will give you a smooth texture while crunchy will add some texture to the syrup.

What kind of maple syrup should I use?

Use pure maple syrup for the best flavor. Avoid imitation maple syrup as it is typically made with artificial flavoring and will not provide the same level of sweetness.

Can I substitute another nut butter for peanut butter?

You can use other nut butters like almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter. Keep in mind that this will alter the flavor.

How do I store leftover peanut butter maple syrup?

Store leftover syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It should keep for about a week. Reheat it gently before serving again.

Can I make it in advance?

You can prepare the syrup in advance and store it in the refrigerator. Just warm it up before serving.

Can I use this syrup for something other than pancakes?

This syrup can be used as a topping for waffles, French toast, oatmeal, ice cream, or even in smoothies.

Can I add other flavors to the syrup?

You can enhance the flavor by adding a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla extract, or a bit of cocoa powder for a chocolatey twist.

Is it okay to heat it in the microwave?

You can heat it in the microwave in short intervals, stirring in between. Just be careful not to overheat, as it can become too hot or scald.

Can I freeze peanut butter maple syrup?

While you can freeze it, the texture may change when thawed. It's best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge.

what goes with it?


Pancakes: Obviously, drizzling this peanut butter maple syrup over pancakes creates a breakfast staple that can't be ignored.

Waffles: Swap out pancakes for waffles for added texture. The syrup seeps into the crevices, making each bite sweet and nutty.

French Toast: Use the syrup on slices of golden French toast for a delicious twist on a classic breakfast. The eggy richness of the toast pairs beautifully with the sweet and savory flavors of the syrup.

Oatmeal: Stir in the peanut butter maple syrup into a warm bowl of oatmeal for a hearty breakfast. The syrup adds a touch of sweetness while the peanut butter ups the protein factor.

Smoothie Bowls: Drizzle the syrup over a smoothie bowl topped with granola and fruit. It adds extra flavor and complements the cool, creamy texture of the smoothie base.

Ice Cream: Pour the warm syrup over a scoop of vanilla or chocolate ice cream for an instant sundae.

Yogurt Parfaits: Layer the syrup in a yogurt parfait with granola and fresh berries. It adds a delicious sweetness.

Dipping Sauce for Fruit: Use the syrup as a dip for fresh fruit like apple slices or banana chunks. The combination of fruity freshness and rich, sweet syrup is refreshing and gives kids a fun way to enjoy their snacks.

Toast: Love honey and peanut butter on toast? Then why not maple syrup and peanut butter? Drizzle the nutty-sweet syrup over toast for a quick breakfast on the go.

reviews & comments

  1. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    My husband never wants pancakes or waffles because he says he doesn't like syrups. Well, I made this for him and he loved it! He loves peanut butter so I figured this was worth a shot!

  2. C&C REVIEW:

    I substituted maple syrup with amber agave nectar. It was the perfect complement to whole wheat oatmeal pancakes with blueberries.

  3. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I wrote the first review and came back again to mention a morph I did on the recipe. I added one more ingredient at the very end. As soon as the maple/peanut butter mixture came to a rolling boil and foamed up in the pan, I immediately took it from the heat and started beating with an electric mixer. As it cools it turns into a hot-fudge consistancy. To the still-warm mixture I added two squares of semi-sweet chocolate that I had melted in a saucepan. As the chocolate set up it made a terrific glaze for a Bundt cake. (If you want lots of glaze, double the recipe.)

  4. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    I put it over vanilla ice cream. So easy and the best peanut butter sauce I've had. After removing sauce from heat I put it into a mixing bowl and beat it with an electric mixer until it cooled and thickened. Very creamy and yummy.
