The recipe list on WW Online is missing a key ingredient - the oatmeal!

Does anyone know how much oatmeal should be used?

That looks very similar to Good Eats Overnight Oatmeal, and that uses 1 cup of steel cut oats to 4.5 cups of liquid (4 cups water & 1/2 cup half-and-half):

Based on that, for 8 cups of liquid, I'd use 1.5 to 2 cups of steel cut oats.
