Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken.
Once the oatmeal begins to thicken, reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oats are soft and the oatmeal has reached your desired thickness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and dark chocolate chips until the chocolate is melted and fully incorporated.
