Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

In another bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk, melted butter, and sour cream until combined.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined; do not overmix.

Fold in the cooked bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions gently into the batter.

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Sprinkle additional cheese and bacon on top if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
