Beat together the butter/spread/melted coconut oil with the brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add and beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended and slightly lighter in colour.
Add the sweet potato and vanilla extract and beat again until well-blended.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet mix and lightly fold through until evenly blended.
Spoon the batter into the muffin cases (about two-thirds full) and smooth the tops.
