Add the sugars and buttermilk to the work bowl and process together for about 5 seconds to combine.

Stir together the oil, egg and vanilla in a liquid measuring cup. With the machine running, pour the liquid ingredients through the small feed tube and process until combined. Evenly add the dry ingredients and process for about 4 to 5 seconds. Scrape the work bowl and add the dried cherries, pulse 2 to 3 times to combine.

Scoop muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly on the tops of each muffin. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.
