Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard doughnut pan with nonstick spray or butter.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the doughnuts dense.
Spoon the batter into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Pipe the batter into the prepared doughnut pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the doughnuts spring back when lightly pressed and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the doughnuts to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once the doughnuts are cool, place the powdered sugar in a shallow bowl. Gently toss each doughnut in the powdered sugar until fully coated.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
