The Prophet (pbuh) stated that all companions do Salat (prayer) as I do (صلوا کما رأیتمونی أصلی ).
There are some hadiths prove that the Prophet blessed himself as the companions did in Salat:
قالت عایشه (رضی الله عنه ): کنا نعد لرسول الله صلی الله علیه وسلم سواکه و طهوره، فیبعثه الله فیما شاء أن یبعثه من اللیل، فیتسوک و یتوضا، ثم یصلی تسع رکعات لایجلس فیهن إلا عند الثامنة، فیدعو ربه و یصلی علی نبیه، ثم ینهض و لا یسلم، ثم یصلی التاسعة، فیقعد، ثم یحمد ربه و یصلی علی نبیه صلی الله علیه وسلم و یدعو، ثم یسلم....) صحیح مسلم

O Allaah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad as You sent blessings upon Ibraaheem and upon the family of Ibraaheem; You are indeed Worthy of Praise, Full of Glory.
There are many Hadiths stating that the prophet told his companions to say it in the prayer (i.e. in Salah), and state the actual words of it. But, if you are looking only for a reference stating that the prophet himself said it, then the only book I found was: "Tuhfat al-Muhtaj ila Adillati al-Minhaj" by Ibnu al-Mulaqqan.
