Instructions

Place the oats into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an s-blade. Blend them to a powder.
Add the chickpeas, red onion, Kalamata olives, scallions, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, and salt.
Pulse the food processor until everything is finely chopped and well mixed, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Taste-test the mixture and season it with additional salt, if desired, as well as some black pepper to taste.
Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
Coat the bottom of a medium skillet with olive oil and place it over medium heat.
When the oil is hot, arrange the patties in the skillet, cooking as many as you can fit without crowding.
Cook the patties for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp.
Cook any remaining patties in another batch, adding oil to the skillet if needed.
Stuff the patties onto buns and top with toppings of choice.
Serve.
