When you add liquid to oats, not only does the oatmeal soak it up, it also expands. That's great if you want to make your chili stretch, but you also don't want to be eating to much oatmeal. Registered dietitian Adena Neglia tells PopSugar that the amount of oatmeal and time you add it will depend on the type you're using. Quick oats should be added at the same time as the other ingredients, while steel cut oats should be added before. As for the amount, 50 to 100 grams of oats per six servings is a good benchmark.
If you want to get specific, 24th Street Cafe's chili, which yields six to seven servings, calls for one cup of oatmeal, which is 80 grams (via Food Network). However, if you're not using a recipe that already calls for oatmeal, PopSugar points out you may have to add extra water. Just remember, a little goes a long way when adding oatmeal to chili.
