First, you need to germinate the rye: Soak 2 tablespoons of rye in water for 24 hours. Drain the water and let the grains germinate for about 2 days at room temperature (in summer, it’s faster than in winter because of the warmth), rinsing the sprouts at least twice a day. Tips for sprouting: I always use a sprouting jar for sprouting. However, for layered breakfast yogurt, I always use a smaller jar (a 400 ml jar) than the regular sprouting jars. This has the advantage that I can layer the breakfast yogurt directly into the jar, and it’s also very easy to eat from the jar, as it’s straight and doesn’t taper towards the top. It’s just important that the jar has the same screw thread as the sprouting jar; then you can simply screw the sieve attachment onto it. Once the rye sprouts have sprouted, it’s time to layer the breakfast yogurt: As mentioned, I layer everything in a 400 ml jar the night before, so I don’t have to do anything in the morning. This also has the advantage of allowing the yogurt to infuse and the dried apricots to swell. First, add the rye sprouts to the jar (or they’re already there if, like me, you’re using the sprouting jar for layering). Then add the dried dates, which you’ve previously cut into small pieces. Then add the ground cinnamon. Since I love cinnamon, I use about a teaspoon. You can use less, depending on your taste. On top, thinly slice or piece the banana. Finally, cover everything with the natural yogurt. The jar is now filled to about 1-2 cm below the rim. Now close the jar tightly and refrigerate. If the yogurt completely covers the banana, nothing will turn brown. If you have to get up early in the morning, it’s also a good idea to take your breakfast yogurt with you. Just don’t forget the long yogurt spoon. Just stir the yogurt well before eating, and your quick breakfast is ready.
