Instructions
Begin the night before you plan to serve this recipe (or at least 2-3 hours in advance). Combine all ingredients for overnight oats into a medium sized, sealable container (reminder: this makes enough for at least two servings). Let sit in the fridge - the oats will naturally soften and the chia seeds will help absorb liquid for a perfectly chewy texture.
In two shallow bowls, place sliced banana halves down. Spoon half of the oats mixture inside each, and top with berries and coconut.
In a small bowl, combine all ingredients for tahini chocolate sauce. Drizzle over each bowl and enjoy right away.

Notes
This recipe will keep in the fridge for 2-3 days, but know that the bananas will soften over time. The oats base is of course delicious on its own, I mainly included the sundae elements for some fun and prettier photos.To make this recipe without chia or flax seeds, simply reduce the amount of milk to ¾ cup.Ingredient details are for oatmeal base.
