Best Answer

Baking soda helps muffins rise by reacting with acid in the batter to create carbon dioxide gas, which expands and makes the muffins light and fluffy. It also helps with browning and contributes to the overall texture of the muffins.

How do you use baking soda instead of yeast?

Baking soda cannot be directly substituted for yeast in bread recipes, as they function differently in leavening.

However, you can use baking soda in quick breads like pancakes or muffins that rely on baking powder for leavening.
