Instructions
- 1
Dissolve Shyne Lion's Mane Coffee powder in hot water, stirring until completely smooth and lump-free.
Pro tip: Use the paste method - this ensures even coffee distribution and prevents clumping in cold ingredients.
- 2
Stir maple syrup and vanilla extract into the warm coffee mixture until well combined, then cool.
Pro tip: Adding sweetener while warm helps it dissolve completely for consistent sweetness throughout.
- 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, chia seeds, and cooled coffee mixture thoroughly.
Pro tip: Mix the dry ingredients first, then add wet - this prevents the oats from clumping together.
- 4
Gradually pour in almond milk while stirring, ensuring all oats are well-coated and moistened evenly.
- 5
Add almond butter and whisk vigorously until creamy and completely incorporated throughout the mixture.
Pro tip: Room temperature almond butter mixes more easily - take it out 15 minutes before prep.
- 6
Divide mixture evenly among five mason jars or containers, leaving space at the top for toppings.

These mushroom coffee overnight oats are a game-changer for anyone who wants a nutritious, energizing breakfast ready to grab from the fridge. By combining the convenience of overnight oats with the focus-supporting benefits of Lion's Mane coffee, you'll start each day with sustained energy and mental clarity.

Lion's Mane Coffee transforms these ordinary oats into an extraordinary morning ritual. The 500mg of Lion's Mane extract may support focus and mental clarity, while the coffee's natural cashew and maple notes complement the creamy oat base perfectly. Unlike regular coffee that can cause jitters, this blend provides smooth, sustained energy that lasts all morning.
Tips for the Perfect Overnight Oats
- Use the paste method: Always dissolve your Shyne Coffee powder in 2 tablespoons of hot water first, then let it cool slightly before mixing with cold ingredients. This ensures no clumps and maximum flavour extraction.
- Oat selection matters: Old-fashioned rolled oats work best as they maintain texture overnight. Quick oats become too mushy, while steel-cut oats stay too firm.
- Layering technique: Add your coffee mixture first, then oats, then liquid ingredients. This prevents the coffee from settling at the bottom.
- Sweetener timing: Mix maple syrup or honey with the coffee paste for even distribution throughout the oats.
- Texture preference: For creamier oats, use a 1:1 ratio of milk to oats. For firmer texture, reduce liquid slightly.
- Make-ahead magic: These improve with time, so day-three oats often taste better than day-one.
Variations to Try
- Chocolate lovers: Add 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder and extra maple syrup for a mocha-inspired version.
- Tropical twist: Use coconut milk and add shredded coconut, pineapple chunks, and a touch of lime zest.
- Protein powerhouse: Stir in a scoop of vanilla protein powder and extra almond butter for post-workout fuel.
- Spiced autumn: Include cinnamon, nutmeg, and diced apples for a coffee cake-inspired flavour.
- Berry bliss: Layer with mixed berries and a dollop of Greek yogurt for extra probiotics.
Storage and Serving Tips
Store your prepared oats in sealed mason jars or containers for up to five days in the refrigerator. The flavours continue developing, making later servings even more delicious. Serve cold or warm gently in the microwave for 30-45 seconds if you prefer a warm breakfast.
