Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ⅓ cups + 1 tbsp + ¾ tsp (22.59 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Scoop lightly into a dry measuring cup and sweep level without compacting. Because quick oats are cut into smaller pieces before rolling, their finer geometry yields approximately 85 grams per cup.
