Steps:

1. Whisk flour, oats, baking soda and salt in medium bowl. 2. Beat butter and brown sugar in large bowl at medium speed 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Beat in peanut butter and vanilla. Add eggs one at a time, beating just until combined. At low speed, beat in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in peanuts, peanut butter chips and toffee bits.
