This dramatic oven pancake puffs up into a golden, cloud-like showstopper with deeply spiced, autumnal flavor in every bite. Real pumpkin purée and freshly grated ginger give the batter a warmth that ground spices alone just can't replicate, and a drizzle of pure maple syrup ties everything together with just the right sweetness. Because the whole thing comes together in a blender and bakes in a single cast iron skillet, cleanup is minimal and the results look genuinely impressive. For anyone navigating legume-free eating, this recipe is naturally in the clear — every ingredient from the eggs and whole milk to the flour and butter is completely free of beans, lentils, peanuts, or soy. That can be harder to guarantee with store-bought pancake mixes, which often sneak in soy flour or soy lecithin as a binder. The hot buttered skillet is the real secret here: it creates those dramatic puffed edges and a crisp, lacy bottom that a griddle pancake simply cannot achieve. Serve it straight from the pan in wedges while it's still warm and the maple syrup is pooling into every fold.

Place a 10-inch or 12-inch oven-safe skillet (cast iron preferred) on the center rack of the oven and preheat to 425°F (220°C). Allow the skillet to heat for the full preheat time, at least 15 minutes.
In a blender (or in a large bowl using a whisk), combine the eggs, milk, pumpkin purée, 2 tbsp maple syrup, grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and salt. Blend or whisk until completely smooth, about 30 seconds in a blender or 1 minute by hand. Add the flour and blend or whisk just until no dry streaks remain and the batter is smooth and pourable — it will be thinner than standard pancake batter.
