I haven't tried it but I read if you increase the baking soda. Example if recipe calls for 1 tsp of baking soda, add 2 tsps and they will rise nice and high. It was on a review of a muffin recipe.
[Edit; JunioMuffinMan]
Careful! If you do that it could affect the taste! try baking powder if the recipe calls for baking soda. I think that instead of putting some baking soda you could put baking powder but also do more of the baking powder than you would do of the baking soda. this should help, but you should experiment around a bit and also try putting double the baking soda and whatever works best you should do

∙ 14y agoTo adapt banana bread recipe to a muffin recipe : Put the batter in your muffin tin, filling each cup about halfway to two thirds. Reduce your cooking time because loaves are bigger than muffins. To make banana muffins rise more, you will need more leavening (rising agent ), which is baking soda, baking powder, or both. To increase the rising, increase the agent. but be aware of the following usual ratio: 1 -2 c buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt + 1/2 to 1 tsp baking soda + 2 tsp baking powder 1-2 c regular milk +1 tbs baking powder Normally, a light, nicely risen bread/muffin will have a tablespoon of baking powder to 2 cups of flour. If you have more flour or if it is whole wheat flour, you will need more rising agent. Do not just double the amounts or you will get unexpected results. If you have baking soda in the recipe, you should also have at least one of the following: molasses, buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt. These are acids which react with the alkaline of baking soda, which in turn makes the bread rise. If you add more baking soda than will react with the acid in the recipe, your bread will have a heavy texture and an unpleasant flavor. Happy Baking!

∙ 12y agoNot enough baking soda and/or baking powder or it could be that your baking soda and/or baking powder are old and in need of being replaced.
Maybe you need a new recipe. I really like the lemon blueberry muffin recipe at MakeMuffins.net. Check out this recipe at the link listed below. I have never had a problem with these muffins not rising.

∙ 13y agoIf you used a muffin mix, theres baking soda in it. If you put in all the ingredients yourself using a specific recipe, you would know that there is baking soda in it. what happens here in a chemical reaction, the heat helps the baking soda form gas bubbles and becomes more light and fluffy and rises up. pretty similar to cakes.

∙ 14y agoWell, the leavenings used in the recipe. For quick breads this generally means baking soda, baking powder or for popovers, beaten egg whites.
