3. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, cream together the Earth Balance, brown sugar, egg and vanilla; add the oat mixture and stir to blend.
4. Add the oat mixture and stir to blend.
5. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, protein powder, flax meal, cinnamon, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt and baking soda; add to wet ingredients and mix well.
