Found this oatmeal recipe on recipezaar.com. The brown sugar would have to be subbed with splenda...otherwise would it be ok? would this be a "green light" kind of food--I could eat it often (if I end up liking it?) Could/should I use steel cut oats?

I tried overnite oatmeal once (different recipe), and it was totally overdone and stuck to the bottom of the crock in the morning. I think my crockpot is just too big. Here's the oatmeal recipe I use, with the appropriate substitutions.
Steel Cut Oatmeal Recipe
courtesy Alton Brown
Show: Good Eats
1 tablespoon butter (sub Smart Beat, or other SBD-approved)
1 cup steel cut oats
3 cups boiling water
1/2 cup whole milk (sub skim)
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon brown sugar (sub SPlenda BS substitute)
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
In a large saucepot, melt the butter and add the oats. Stir for 2 minutes to toast. Add the boiling water and reduce heat to a simmer. Keep at a low simmer for 25 minutes, without stirring.
Combine the milk and half of the buttermilk with the oatmeal. Stir gently to combine and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Spoon into a serving bowl and top with remaining buttermilk (I usually just top with skim milk or lt vanilla soymilk), brown sugar, and cinnamon.
