Instructions

  1. The first thing to do is to let the buckwheat germinate. Soak 2 tablespoons of buckwheat in water for about 6 hours. Pour off the water and allow the grains to germinate for approx. 2 - 3 days at room temperature (in summer it is faster than in winter because of the warmth) and rinse the germs at least twice a day. The buckwheat slimes, but that is completely normal.
  2. Once the buckwheat sprouts have sprouted, it`s time to layer the breakfast yogurt. I put everything in the 400 ml tumbler mentioned below the evening before, so that I don`t have to do anything in the morning. This also has the advantage that the yogurt can steep and the dried apricots can swell.
  3. First, the buckwheat sprouts go into the glass - or they are already in if you use the germinating glass to layer like me. Then come the dried apricots, which you have previously cut into small cubes. Then comes the ground cinnamon. The amount depends on your own taste. I love cinnamon, so I take a good 1 teaspoon. If you don`t like cinnamon, you can also use ground vanilla.
  4. On top of this you cut the banana into thin slices or pieces. Finally, cover everything with the natural yogurt.
  5. The glass is now about 1 - 2 cm filled to below the rim. Now close the jar tightly and put everything in the refrigerator. If the yogurt covers the banana completely, nothing will turn brown.
  6. If you have to get up early in the morning, you can also take the breakfast yogurt with you very well. Just don`t forget the long yogurt spoon. Just stir the yoghurt well before you eat and your quick breakfast is ready.
  7. Tips for germination:
  8. I always use a sprouting jar for germination. However, I always use a smaller glass for the breakfast layered yoghurt than the normal germ jars, namely a tumbler with 400 ml capacity. This has the advantage that I can layer the breakfast yoghurt directly in the glass and you can also eat very well out of the glass because it is straight and does not taper towards the top. It is only important that the lintel jar has the same screw thread as the germ jar, then you can simply screw the strainer onto it.
