Creating these amazing Baked Pumpkin Donuts is a breeze if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a donut pan with cooking spray.
2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt until well combined.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fill the Donut Pan: Using a piping bag or spoon, fill each cavity of the donut pan about halfway with batter.
6. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Cool: Remove the donuts from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
8. Prepare the Glaze (Optional): In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more milk or powdered sugar as needed.
9. Glaze the Donuts (Optional): Once the donuts are cool, dip the tops into the glaze, allowing any excess to drip off.
