What should you use in making banana bread baking soda or baking powder?

Well banana bread is a quick bread, that means it is leavened (raised) with chemicals (baking soda) rather than by fermentation (yeast.)
You will need some form of leavening to make banana bread. There are many kinds of baking powders with different ingredients. I prefer a non-aluminum powder because I think that the aluminum ones tend to make baked goods taste "off" after a day or two. You can also use baking soda. If the recipe calls for powder and you are using soda you will want to make your own powder. There are a few different recipes, but they will all be "single action" meaning that you need twice as much because they won't get a heat boost from the oven like the commercial double actions. I use this recipe: 1 part soda + 2 parts cream of tartar + 2 parts corn starch. (Although I usually omit the corn starch and use 3/5 as much as is called for.)
You could certainly make a bread or bread product that contains banana but is not leavened (or one that is yeast leavened.) I don't know any recipes but maybe a quick internet search or some experimenting would do the trick.
