Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cavity donut pan with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger until well combined.
In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not over-mix.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a large ziplock bag with the tip cut off. Pipe the batter into the prepared donut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a donut comes out clean.
Allow the donuts to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optionally, glaze or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your homemade gluten-free pumpkin donuts!
