Did some science.
Here is three sizes of Quick Oatmeal I test made.
I added the boiling water to the measured quick oats, stirred, and tightly covered for 4 minutes. Shaking(stirring the mix regularly).

8oz (1/2 Cup Oatmeal, 1 Cup Water)
12oz (2/3 Cup Oatmeal, 1 & 1/2 Cup Water)
20oz (2 Cups Oatmeal, 4 Cups Water)

The portion greatly expands when adding toppings. I added berries to the 12 Oz and it almost filled the bowl.

Some Fun Facts 🍌🥛🍯🥜🍳🫕
A lot of people are under the impression that different types of oats offer different Nutrients/Benefits. But believe it or not, they all offer the same nutrients and vitamins. The only thing that differs is the processing which affects the shape.

"Steel-cut, old-fashioned oats, and rolled oats: “It’s shocking, but they’re all essentially the same [nutritionally],” says Snyder. “The manufacturing and processing [to get the different shapes of oats] differs, but the nutritional values are the same,” she says. Each type of oatmeal offers unique textures, and some you’ll find more enjoyable than others. "

"One cup of cooked oatmeal is a healthy serving size, says Jessica Crandall Snyder, RDN, CDCES, the CEO of Vital RD in Centennial, Colorado. That amount will contain 154 calories, 27 grams (g) of carbs, and 4 g of fiber, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)."

🥛"Oatmeal is known as a hot cereal, but a wonderful thing happens when you combine dry oats, yogurt or milk, fruit, and (maybe) chia seeds in a container in the fridge, says Snyder. After several hours (or, ahem, overnight), the oats absorb the liquid, plump up and soften into a familiar texture, and become “overnight oats.” These are eaten cold. "

🍌🍏"Learning how to make healthy oatmeal also requires knowing the right — and wrong — add-ins.

This can be tricky because it’s easy to go overboard on sugary toppings, as a result of including sneaky and obvious sources in your bowl. For instance, flavored, sweetened nondairy milk, some nut butters, and sweetened dried fruit contain added sugar, as the USDA notes.

Then, there’s the addition of brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey, all of which are sugar. “Adding sugar or syrup to an already carbohydrate-rich breakfast can cause it to become imbalanced, as it’s high in carbs but low in fat and protein,” says Hultin. Make sure you’re using dairy milk, unsweetened nondairy milks, and unsweetened nut butters to restrain added sugar. She likes to mash in some banana for “high-fiber, natural sweetness.” (Half a banana has 1 g of fiber, per the USDA.) You could also sprinkle your oats with cinnamon and nutmeg during or after cooking to impart a natural sweetness, says Snyder. Fresh fruit, such as berries, are another way to sweeten your bowl naturally!"
