Can I replace baking powder with baking soda in a muffin recipe?

Here' the correct answer. Both baking powder and baking soda are leavening agents; they help baked products rise. Baking powder is baking soda-sodium bicarbonate- and an acid in the form of cream of tartar. What happens is that when you add water the acid reacts to the carbonate and releases carbon dioxide. The CO2 causes the product to rise, along with the steam created by the cooking process. If you were using a recipe that was acidic i.e. it had buttermilk as an ingredient, you could use baking soda. Since you are not you must use baking powder.


BTW neither baking powder nor baking soda will change the flavor of a product if used correctly. If you are getting an unpleasant taste from the baking powder it could be as a result of the way it's been stored- Rusty Container ? BTW2 Baking powder will lose it's ability to produce gas oveer time.Can I replace baking powder with baking soda in a muffin recipe?
I didn't know this was a scientific experiment, LOL! I just thought you were baking muffins. You aren't measuring properly, dear. That's why you taste it. Don't use baking soda toothpaste before you eat them, either. Keep trying, LOL. Report Abuse
Can I replace baking powder with baking soda in a muffin recipe?
no u cannot replace baking powder with soda because in baking powdre u tend to have sodium bi carbonate,sodium aluminium sulphate,and edible starch,which improves ur muffins,,,,but where as baking soda has different properties by it self which only has bi carbonate in it,


so u cannot replace with each either.
No, they're both leavening agents, but powder doesn't have the acid that you need.





Baking powder substitute: Single Acting baking powder can be made by combining 2 parts of cream of tartar with 1 part baking soda. OR for one teaspoon of baking powder, combine two parts cream of tartar plus one part baking soda plus one part cornstarch.
not even close
No. They react differently in the batter and can not be substituted.
No. They are entirely different things and it could ruin your recipe.
you really shouldn't





although they basically perform the same action, they do it in different ways and need other ingredients with them to do it.





baking is a science, things turn out right when you follow the recipe to the letter. you never substitute any item unless it is a proper recommended substitute.
go w/katchen75, i was going to suggest the same substitute
Hope this isn't too late. You asked this 2 hours ago.


1 teaspoon baking powder=1/4 teaspoon baking soda plus 1/2 cup buttermilk or sour milk (to replace 1/2 cup of the liquid called for).
Baking soda creates sorta a chemical reaction sometimes in baking to make food fluff up. They definitely have a different taste. I dont think I'd substitute one for the other
NO! Baking powder helps the muffins rise.

Do you have a chocolate chip muffin recipe?

I'm looking for a recipe that tastes just like the ones that you can buy at the supermarket. I love the way that they taste and I want to be able to make them. Please don't refer me to a recipe web site 'cause some times I try them and they don't come out right. A recipe you've tried and it works would be preferred. Thanks!Do you have a chocolate chip muffin recipe?

1 1/2 cups flour

2 teaspoons baking powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 cup milk (or other liquid, such as drained pineapple juice, orange juice, etc...)


1/4 cup oil (or oil substitute)


1 egg


1 1/2 cups fruit, additions (or vegetable, such as 1 cup mashed banana and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts)


spices, of your choice





Not the one? See other Any Muffin Recipe Recipes


%26lt; 60 mins Muffins


Potluck Muffins


Kid Pleaser Muffins


Heat oven to 400.


Grease 12 muffin cups, or 24 mini muffin cups.


Combine dry ingredients, including dry additions (like nuts, chocolate chips, etc -- ) and spices.


Combine wet ingredients, including wet additions (like banana, berries, pineapple, etc -- ).


Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full (perfectly ok if you have leftover batter to fill cups to top.).


Bake for 18-20 minutes.


NOTES:.


To make non-sweet muffins, such as bacon and cheddar, just cut back on the sugar to 1 tablespoon. You can make your own ';jiffy'; corn muffins by substituting 1/2 cup corn meal for 1/2 cup of the flour, and using 2 tablespoons of sugar. Substitute peanut butter for the oil to give your muffins a peanutty taste (I make Elvis Muffins by using 2 mashed bananas, 1/2 cup chopped peanuts and then peanut butter for the oil.).


If your additions are very wet (such as crushed pineapple) then use up to 1/2 cup more flour, to equal up to 2 cups total flour.


Play around with this! It's easy and quick!

Muffins aren't healthy in any way shape or form when made with enriched white flour. Check the calories on those little ';killers';. Whole wheat toast should do the trick.
soy milk, almond milk or rice milk for cows' milk , almond and cashew cereal, or fruit-only spreads to your toast.
there are alot of sites out there...this is one you can search on.
here is a great site thats allows you get details about whatever recipe you need the link i have has the muffins on it for you. although you can search for any other kind you prefer.

chefDoes anybody have a decent cupcake or muffin recipe?
This is a very basic and good moist chocolate cake recipe. Instead of baking in two cake pans, prepare your muffin pan with liners, spray the liners with non stick spray and fill then 2/3 full with batter. Bake for about 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in middle comes out clean. If you don't have cream of tartar, don't worry about it -- and if you don't want to use vanilla, almond extract is very good.

    Muffin Recipe


    Muffin recipe preparation time: about 10 Minutes


    Muffin recipe cooking time: 20 Minutes





    A fun and simple muffin recipe, children will love to help make muffins and it's a good way to teach them the basics of cooking. If you don't have a muffin tray, throw away paper cake cases will work just as well. Once you become familiar with the recipe try experimenting with blueberries, chocolate or an alternative filling of your choice.





    Muffin recipe ingredients: Serves 4-8


    380g self-raising flour


    100g butter (cut into small cubes)


    200g caster sugar


    300ml milk


    1 beaten egg


    100g raisins


    large pinch of cinnamon





    Muffin recipe cooking Instructions:





    1. Blend the sifted flour and butter in a large bowl.





    2. Fold in the sugar, milk, raisins, cinnamon and egg, don't worry if the mix isn't smooth.





    3. Spoon the mixture into the well greased muffin tray (or paper cases).





    4. Bake on the middle shelf at about 180 degrees C for 20 minutes.


    You would only need baking powder if you used plain flour.
    If you have a recipe for muffins but no baking powder or baking soda, substitute self-rising flour for the plain flour. To your recipe, if you have any in the cupboard, I would stir through an additional 1/4 tsp of cream of tarter to the self-rising flour.
