Step 1
Bring water or milk to a boil in a medium pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Stir in oats and salt. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until creamy and tender, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
While oats cook, add berries, honey, and lemon juice to a small pot over medium heat.
Step 4
Simmer, stirring occasionally, until berries soften and release juice, 4-5 minutes. The mixture should look syrupy and glossy.
Step 5
Divide porridge between two bowls. Spoon warm berry compote over the top.
Step 6
Serve immediately while porridge is hot and creamy.
