In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, rolled oats, parsley, onion, garlic, cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse until the mixture is well combined and forms a slightly chunky paste. Do not over-process; the mixture should not be completely smooth.
Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty approximately 3/4-inch thick.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 patties at a time for about 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and heated through. Repeat with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and patties.
In a small bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and paprika to prepare the sauce. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Assemble the Fawhopper by placing a lettuce leaf on the bottom half of each sandwich thin. Add a falafel patty, a slice or two of tomato, and a dollop of the yogurt sauce.
Top with the other half of the sandwich thin and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious Fawhopper!
