No, they aren't. You'll have a fluffier pie than you meant to, but 1/4 tsp isn't going to be fatal. Use the soda, too.

I think I would just leave it alone. Baking powder does have baking soda in it. You could also add about 1/2 the amount of baking soda originally called for in the recipe.

Baking powder does have baking soda in it... it's a little milder. I'd add another 1/4 of baking powder and leave it at that. It'll be fine.

Baking powder contains baking soda, along with an activator, such as cream of tartar.

You recipe probably has an activator also. I wouldn't worry about it.

"You can substitute baking powder in place of baking soda (you'll need more baking powder and it may affect the taste), but you can't use baking soda when a recipe calls for baking powder. "

Just add 1/2 the soda and see what happens. You might have invented something new and better.

I would probably go ahead and add the soda also because it helps the pie be fluffy and I dont think it would hurt a thing.Without it I think your pie will be pretty flat
