Baking Powder substitute. Substitutes for baking powder include using baking soda, but you must add additional ingredients. Several options are listed below. If you've run out of baking powder for your recipe or your baking powder has gone bad, check below to substitute for baking powder.
You should substitute for baking powder and not just leave it out of the recipe in order to ensure that your baked goods rise properly. There are three types of baking powder: fast-acting, slow-acting and double-acting with double-acting being the most common type. This means that the powder reacts once when liquid is added and again when heat is introduced.
Remember that baking soda and baking powder are different and not directly interchangeable.
