Question: do muffins need baking powder?
Answer: For every 2 cups of flour that has acidic ingredients (eg. brown sugar/yogurt), 1/2 tsp baking soda is required. So total baking powder required = 2 1/2 tsp (2 + 1/2). ... So in conclusion, my muffins will be made with 1/2 tsp baking soda (with brown sugar) and 1/2 – 1 tsp baking powder.
