Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 300 milliliters Reduced-fat milk
• 100 milliliters Water
• 1 large Egg
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Sugar substitute
• 30 grams Unsalted butter
• 50 grams Dark chocolate chips
• 30 grams Chopped peanuts
• 10 grams Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat milk, water, egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring slowly until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.

Step 4

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the baking soda and powder to activate.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a thin layer of unsalted butter.

Step 6

Pour enough batter into the pan to make a thick pancake, approximately 1 cm in height. Reduce the heat to low.

Step 7

Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the batter sets around the edges, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle the top with sugar substitute to lightly sweeten it, then carefully flip the martabak to cook the other side for another 2 to 3 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 9

Remove the martabak from the pan and immediately spread a thin layer of unsalted butter over the surface.

Step 10

Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped peanuts over half of the martabak, then fold the other half over the toppings like a sandwich.

Step 11

Allow the chocolate to melt slightly, then slice into desired portions and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
