Pumpkin Loaf

I tried a recipe from my Weight Watchers meeting this weekend and it was
quite good. This recipe makes one very large serving (would easily serve
two people). I liked it while the loaf was still warm (out of the oven
about 20 minutes) because it has a pudding-like texture. The loaf collapses
a bit after you pull it out of the oven because there is so little flour in
it.

Enjoy!
