In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, turmeric, salt, and red pepper flakes. Process until the mixture breaks down and begins to smooth out. Add the oats and pulse a few times to work them in. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400 F (204 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a cookie scoop to take small scoops of the mixture, 1 to 1 1/2 tbsp (15 to 22.5 mL) each. Place falafel balls on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes, until the falafel balls begin to firm (they will still be tender inside) and turn golden in spots.
