Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with butter or gluten-free cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until crispy. Remove them from the pan, let them cool slightly, and then crumble into small pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
Add the gluten-free muffin mix to the egg mixture and stir until just combined.
Fold in the crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and chopped scallions if using. Combine evenly.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
