For a richer chocolate flavor, add a few dark chocolate chips to the oatmeal while it's cooking. Feel free to adjust the amount of maple syrup and honey to suit your desired level of sweetness. If you prefer a smoother oatmeal, you can use quick-cooking oats instead of rolled oats. Add a splash of almond milk or cream for extra richness. Toast the coconut flakes for a more intense flavor.
