How did you find that...?
Magic.
Usually I have brown sugar and honey in my coffee. Today I substituted honey with Splenda.
Why did you knock out the honey? Calories, or was it due to the sugar load? If calories, then I've got nothing to add. If the sugar load, then might I suggest checking out Agave nectar if you haven't tried it. There are a few different brands/types, which I'll give some info on if you want. It has a low glycemic index, so it won't spike your blood sugar. It has about half the glycemic index of honey (and honey is about the same as table sugar), although honey is also labeled as having a low index. I don't like it in my coffee, but I do like it on...wait for it...oatmeal.
I just ate the oatmeal. Harrr-thuey !! Yuk !!! I think I'd rather die.
What kind did you have? If you ate rolled oats that had been cooked (perhaps in the microwave), then I am totally with you. I hate those things. The consistency makes me nauseous. I love oatmeal cookies, but hate it cooked like that. Then I discovered McCann's Steel Cut Irish oatmeal. Oh, baby. It is NOTHING like rolled oats. They have the
original kind that takes 30 minutes to make, but they also have a
version that cooks in about 5 minutes that takes darn near the same to me. As I was reading your post, I happen to be eating some of their
rolled oats - but not cooked. I just put them in a bowl, put some Agave nectar on top (I prefer
this kind for oatmeal), and pour cold milk on the top.
