Add the chickpeas and oats to the food processor and blend for 1 minute or until a dough forms.
Combine the chickpea mixture, vegetables, parsley, and spices together in a mixing bowl, and then form into four patties.

Notes
If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the chickpeas with a potato masher or fork, and the vegetables can be diced small with a knife. The oats can be processed in a coffee grinder or oat flour may be substituted.
Serve as chickpea burgers, in a wrap, or alongside a tossed salad or cooked veggies.
Garnish with your traditional condiments, tzatziki or avocado sauce.
Chickpea patties can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They are great for meal prepping lunches for the week!
