1st batch of pumpkin muffins are flat, did not rise?!

Question: I still have lots of the batter left. Can I add something to the remaining batter to ensure that the next batch rises?
I already used 1 tsp. baking soda, but apparently that wasn't right.
Thanks.

If you have baking powder you might try that..

Baking soda makes things spread out and baking powder makes things puff up. Usually muffins just use baking powder.

Did you overbeat the batter? That could create tough, flat muffins also..

Recheck your recipe. Maybe it needs baking powder, not baking soda. They are very different ingredents.

should have used baking powder

sounds like you need baking soda, and make sure it's not expired. I do that every year... I forget to check the expiration date and complain when things don't rise!!!

I AGREE WITH THE BAKING POWDER OR YOU COULD USE CAKE FLOUR IN THE RECIPE. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO OVER MIX. YOU ONLY NEED TO MOISTEN THE INGREDIENTS FOR PERFECT MUFFINS. TO MUCH AIR MAKES A MUFFIN TOUGH
