You don't have any baking soda and you need it for banana muffins?
If you are using self rising flour, you do not need baking powder, soda or salt. You can safely omit these ingredients from the recipe.
What can you use instead baking soda?
Using Baking Powder Instead of Baking Soda* You need to use 2-3 times more baking powder than baking soda. The extra ingredients in the baking powder will have an effect on the taste of whatever you are making, but this isn't necessarily bad. * Ideally, triple the amount of baking soda to equal the amount of baking powder. So, if the recipe called for 1 tsp baking soda, you would use 3 tsp baking powder. * What I do is compromise... I use twice the amount of baking powder as baking soda (add 2 tsp of baking powder if the recipe calls for 1 tdp baking soda), plus I omit the salt (which adds flavor but also affects rising in some recipes).

What is an alternative to bicarbonate soda?
Depends on what reciepe you are using and what the purpose is: I often use yeast but in some recipes depending on the fluffiness of the cake I will sometimes use baking soda. A friend of mine uses "fizzy water" (carbonated water) as an alternative. Yeast is only used in bread related recipes, whereas bicarb can be used n cakes ~ Baking Soda in a recipe is to help with 'spreadability of the cookie or cake. You don't use it in pancakes so you want the batter to 'stay put'. In a cookie, you want it to spread out a bit, in the cake, you want it to fill in the space of the pan. Baking Soda and Baking Powder CAN be used for each other in a subbing situation. They are both considered leavening agents. In choosing to substitute one for the other you have to know the ratio AND the fact the flavor WILL be DIFFERENT. 1 TSP of Baking Soda needs 3 TSP of Baking Powder. OMIT all SALT. Reverse it to use soda instead of baking powder. You can also use 2 tsp soda and 1 tsp cream of tarter to create BAKING POWDER. Again, omit the salt from the recipe. AGAIN, any substitutions of ingredients, expect flavor change to happen.

Can you omit baking soda and baking powder with self rising flour?
No you don't, I thought this earlier on today, but if you have self-raising flour then you are fine. It just raises better with baking power added. Really you "must" use self-raising in using cake or will Not rise. :')

the message was omit
Can you omit baking powder?
Not is any recipe calling for it, if you want something like the recipe was designed to make. The baking powder bubbles when heated and makes the cake or cookies or biscuits or what not lighter and fluffier - without it you will get a hard, flat product.
