Here is the earliest reference I could find to Babaji in Yoganandaji's writings. If anyone finds an earlier reference- I would also be interested:

from the Super Advanced Course No. 1 by Swami Yogananda, 1930

True friendship is broad and inclusive. Selfish attachment to a single individual, excluding all others, inhibits the development of divine friendship. Extend the boundaries of the glowing kingdom of your love, gradually including within them you family, your neighbors, your community, your country, all countries--in short, all living sentient creatures. Be also a cosmic friend, imbued with kindness and affection for all of God’s creation, scattering love everywhere. such was the example set by Christ, Swami Shankara, and my masters (Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, and Swami Sriyukteswarji).
