Does anyone have any sugar free/splenda recipes? I can see where I could use splenda for part of it but the toppings/brown sugar...I'm not sure how that would work. But a thought! I love maple and brown sugar oatmeal...but can't have it. Now I buy regular instant oatmeal, add splenda and some sugar free maple syrup to it and its GREAT. I wonder if that would work?
