I have not tried this yet, but it is a traditonal pumpkin pie without the crust. Let's all try it!

Serve with a topping, if desired. If cut into 9 pieces – ONE POINT EACH

Looking for a pumpkin pie recipe that is 8 or 9 points? Here is a classic Weight Watcher version - that I have modified, of course. It is only 3 points for 1/8 of a 9 inch pie!

I also like them for breakfast with slice of Canadian bacon and an egg. They make the left overs into a special meal. They can be stuffed and frozen for a quick meal later. When I did the math on them 2 crepes is 3 points.

Melt a little butter (I just use cooking spray in a nonstick pan)...
