In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the reduced-fat milk, water, egg, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Gradually add the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring slowly until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the baking soda and powder to activate.
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with a thin layer of unsalted butter.
Pour enough batter into the pan to make a thick pancake, approximately 1 cm in height. Reduce the heat to low.
Cook until bubbles form on the surface and the batter sets around the edges, approximately 5 to 7 minutes.
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.
Remove the martabak from the pan and immediately spread a thin layer of unsalted butter over the surface.
Evenly sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped peanuts over half of the martabak, then fold the other half over the toppings like a sandwich.
Allow the chocolate to melt slightly, then slice into desired portions and garnish with sesame seeds before serving.
