Baking soda will cause things to rise also. Muffins are smaller so there is not as much need for lift. Baking powder will give more rise than soda. Whoever created the recipe chose to use soda instead of baking powder.

The baking powder makes any food you bake rise. How much it rises depends on how much powder you put in and how hot your oven is when you put the food in. For best results a sudden burst of heat is needed.

It really depends on what you are trying to cook. Some recipes use baking *powder*. My recommendation is that you search online for this recipe to see if there are some that use baking powder. Are you trying to limit your sodium intake?

How to fix accidentally adding baking powder to a recipe?
This can't really be corrected without starting all over with your recipe. In baking, there's a chance the baking powder will only cause your food to rise a little more, maybe give it a slight salty taste, but otherwise won't hurt much.
Why does a recipe only need so much baking powder?
Baking powder is used to puff up the pastry. It contains baking soda along with an acid to activate it - too much and the result will taste like soda...too little and the result will be flat or heavy.
When a recipe call for 2 teaspoon of baking soda how much Cream of Tatar should you use?
Baking powder is a mixture of baking soda, starch and an acid (often tartar) to activate the baking soda. Since baking soda is already in the baking powder, it is possible you will not need any additional baking soda. Baking powder and baking soda are used to "raise" or puff up the pastry - too little and it will not raise properly...too much and it will taste like soda. If you do not have a specific recipe, you will need to experiment.
How much baking powder to use to 1 lb of flour for cake?
About 1.5 teaspoons. If the recipe calls for self raising flour and you don't have any then add 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
Can you mix baking powder and baking soda?
There is no need to. Baking powder has baking soda in it already. Baking powder is a mixture of cream of tartar and baking soda. Adding extra soda to it might make the bake good you are preparing come out with "unexpected" results. If a recipe actually calls for it, fine, but I have never seen one that calls for both. If you don't have enough of one or the other for you recipe, you can mix them but if you're low on soda, the baked good may not rise as much. It's best to follow the amounts in the recipe since each one responds a little differently depending on the acid content of the batter.
