Cornbread of the Golden Grove

Archetype: The Rooted Healer

Element(s): Earth + Sun + Honey

Purpose: To restore physical vitality and ancestral warmth through sacred grain and soft strength

Origin Lore

This bread was first baked in clay ovens along the sacred lines of the South—corn offered to earth, fire, and body.
In this revival, it returns gluten-free and low-glycemic, woven with **grass-fed collagen**, **marshmallow root**, and **turmeric**.
It does not shout—it nourishes. It does not crave—it remembers. Each slice is a prayer folded in warmth.

Ritual Cooking Method

Yield: 1 8×8 pan or 12 mini muffins

Prep Time: 10 min mix + 25 min bake

Ingredients:

1 cup fine yellow cornmeal (organic, stone-ground)
1/2 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp turmeric
1 scoop collagen powder (grass-fed or marine)
1/2 tsp marshmallow root powder (optional)
2 pasture-raised eggs
1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (for fluff & digestion)
1/4 cup avocado oil or ghee
2 tbsp monk fruit syrup or raw honey

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease a baking dish.
Mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs, almond milk, vinegar, oil, and sweetener.
Combine wet and dry until smooth. Let batter sit 5 mins to hydrate the flours.
Pour into prepared pan. Bake 22–25 mins or until golden and firm. Cool slightly before slicing.
