Drizzle with oil and toss to coat.In a large bowl, stir together the grated sweet potato, cilantro, basil, garlic, ginger, and chopped peanuts.In a food processor, add the oats and process until finely chopped. You want the texture to be like a coarse flour. Stir the oat flour into the bowl with the vegetables.Now add the drained chickpeas into the processor and process until finely chopped. You want the mixture to be a cross between a coarse paste and finely chopped chickpeas, but don't completely puree the chickpeas. Stir the processed chickpeas into the bowl with the vegetables and oat flour.In a mug, whisk together the ground flax and water.
