Using an electric whisk, cream the sugars, peanut butter, butter and vanilla extract until pale and smooth. Add the eggs, one by one, mixing well after each addition so that the mix doesn鈥檛 curdle.
Whisk in the flour and bicarbonate of soda, then using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold through the oats until combined.
Place 40 heaped tablespoons of the mixture onto the trays and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool on the trays slightly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
